Kris Kammers was 42 years old when he disappeared from Anchorage, Alaska, in April 2024. Publicly available case information states that his family had not heard from him since April 1, 2024, and that Kammers was experiencing homelessness at the time.
Kris Kammers Disappears in Anchorage
Kris Kammers was last known to have contact with his family on April 1, 2024, in Anchorage, Alaska. Unlike cases in which investigators can identify a specific residence, vehicle, workplace, or witnessed encounter as the person’s final known location, publicly released information about Kammers’ disappearance provides very few details about what happened immediately before he vanished.
What has been made public is straightforward but concerning: Kammers stopped communicating with his family. Records associated with the case also state that he was experiencing homelessness, a circumstance that can make retracing someone’s movements especially difficult when there is no consistently documented residence or daily routine.
Description of Kris Kammers
Kammers was listed as a 42-year-old White male at the time of his disappearance. Available NamUs-derived information describes him as approximately 6 feet 1 inch tall and 200 pounds, with black hair and brown eyes.
The CaseTrace listing connected to his NamUs record independently gives his height as 6 feet 1 inch and weight as 200 pounds.
What Is Known About the Circumstances?
The central fact in the disappearance is the abrupt loss of contact between Kammers and his family beginning April 1, 2024. Public case databases do not currently provide a detailed account of where he spent that day, who last saw him in person, what he was wearing, whether he was traveling with anyone, or whether a particular vehicle was associated with his disappearance.
There is also no reliable public information identifying a suspect, person of interest, confirmed crime scene, or evidence establishing that Kammers was the victim of homicide. His case should therefore be described as an unresolved missing-person investigation, not a confirmed homicide.
A March 2025 Crime Solvers Central article similarly noted that publicly available details about Kammers’ activities immediately before his disappearance were scarce. While that article discusses investigative and community-search possibilities, specific investigative steps or search operations should not be treated as confirmed unless separately documented by law enforcement.
Case Numbers and the Search for Kris Kammers
The disappearance is associated with Anchorage Police Department case number 240026578. A public Missing Northwest awareness post also identifies that same police case number.
Kammers is additionally associated with NamUs missing-person case MP130299. CaseTrace, which links its listing back to NamUs as the listed source, identifies the number as 130299 and repeats the April 1, 2024 last-contact date.
These reference numbers are particularly useful when contacting authorities because they help distinguish Kammers’ investigation from other missing-person cases being handled in Anchorage and across Alaska.
Latest Publicly Available Investigation Information
As of August 19, 2026, there is no publicly announced resolution to Kris Kammers’ disappearance. Most importantly, the State of Alaska’s current Missing Persons data continues to list KAMMERS, KRIS under Anchorage Police Department case 240026578, with April 1, 2024 as the missing date.
CrimeTea also currently categorizes the case as Active and unresolved in Anchorage.
A NamUs-derived case entry published by CrimeOwl in 2026 identifies Kammers as NamUs MP130299, repeats his April 1, 2024 last known contact in Anchorage, and states that the investigating agency is the Anchorage Police Department under case 240026578. That page reports its NamUs source as updated in May 2026.
No publicly accessible law-enforcement release located for this review identifies a suspect, confirms foul play, reports the recovery of remains, or announces that Kammers has been located. Consequently, claims about what happened to him beyond the documented facts should be treated as unverified.
Why the Case Remains Difficult
The limited publicly available timeline leaves significant unanswered questions. There is no publicly documented exact street address or precise location for Kammers’ final confirmed contact, and no detailed account describing the hours immediately surrounding his disappearance.
His reported homelessness at the time may further complicate efforts to reconstruct his movements. Without a consistent residence or publicly identified final destination, investigators may have fewer conventional points from which to establish a last-known route.
More than two years after Kammers’ disappearance, the most important unanswered questions remain the most basic ones: Where was Kris Kammers after April 1, 2024, who had contact with him around that time, and what caused his communication with his family to stop?
Anyone with firsthand information should provide it directly to the Anchorage Police Department rather than attempting to independently confront or investigate individuals believed to have information about the case.
