Kevin Nguyen (10 of Spades, Indiana)

[mysterious music] The mystery of what happened to Kevin started on December 8th, 2018, a Saturday night.

25-year-old Kevin had made plans to spend the evening at the Brass Rail Bar at the corner of Broadway and Sturgis Street in downtown Fort Wayne, Indiana.

His little sister, Leeann Yanke, 19 years old at the time, told us that she still remembers dropping him off that night.

I remember that he really just wanted to go out and see a band or some sorts at a bar, and I said, "That's fine." Obviously, with a bar, you're gonna drink.

So typically on that day, I'm not gonna let you drive there.

But right after Leeann dropped Kevin off, he called her and said he needed her to come back.

So he forgot his wallet, called me, drove all the way back home to get his wallet.

Came home, my mom's like, "Oh, he's already back home." And I'm like, "Nope, he forgot something." Being silly as ever.

More than seven and a half years later, Leeann still gets emotional as she talks about the last time she saw her brother, dropping him off for a second time outside of the Brass Rail around 10:45 PM.

He seemed like his normal self, his goofball self.

[laughs]

Kevin Nugen's family said he was like an introverted extrovert.

And by the way, throughout this episode, you may hear people pronounce Kevin's last name differently.

But we did confirm with his family that they pronounced it Nugen.

Now, Leeann said at home Kevin could be silly and make her laugh.

But outside the house, he was quiet and more reserved.

He loved to draw, loved anime, video games, and even though Kevin is six years older than Leeann, they were really close.

He basically is the person that made me who I am today.

As Kevin got out of the car, Leeann gave him a warning.

I, like, grabbed him and I looked him dead in his eyes and I said, "You're only allowed to have two drinks.

That is it.

You are not gonna get hectic or crazy.

Two drinks.

That's done.

'Cause I've seen you before, how you get." He listens to nobody.
