More info on the circumstances of his disappearance at the Charley Project, foul play is suspected. http://www.charleyproject.org/cases/p/patterson_kenneth.html His car was located near his home.

Tracking dogs followed his scent from his wrecked car to the river. The river was dragged, but he was not found. https://news.google.com/newspapers?...AAIBAJ&sjid=CYYDAAAAIBAJ&pg=6278,845619&hl=en

On the lower end, this guy seems on the short side, but his mom could be a little off on the height if she was the one who provided it to LE, since he'd be her "little one".

LE can do a quick yeah or nay on this one using the DNA. This may be more practical than getting more info on him. Evidently, there's enough gossip in town that many stories can be had, not all of them terribly helpful to our UID ID.

And then on Google search, there are a lot of Kenneth or Brent Pattersons, which makes research like a needle in a haystack. Interestingly, there's a red hair theme going in the Kenneths and Brents, but not even close to this MP, who has an extraordinary mop!

I would suggest we keep this one on our list of "maybes".

Kenneth “Brent” Patterson, 28, of the Goshen Valley community, has been missing since July 16, 1986.

That morning the HCSO responded to a wreck on Goshen Valley Road just south of the Holston River bridge. A vehicle registered to Patterson, was found abandoned in a field after apparently running off the roadway, hitting a ditch, rolling over and coming to rest on its wheels.

The vehicle had also been driven in the field after the accident in an apparent attempt to leave the scene, but got stuck on a fence. No blood was found in the vehicle, and Patterson has not been seen or heard from since.

Several potential suspects were questioned. Some were cleared, one died, and one is serving a lengthy federal prison sentence on drug and weapons convictions.

Hawkins has seven unsolved suspicious death/missing person cases dating back 36 years

Although Josephine "Josi" Helmandollar was from Church Hill, she and her friend Charles Seaton were murdered in Kingsport, and are unsolved Sullivan County cases.
