Details of Disappearance:
Kiser disappeared on April 26, 1990, from his home in Hazel Mountain, Virginia. His girlfriend said he was going to his brother’s house in Alexandria to hide stolen cigarettes, but he never arrived. His family found this strange, since he had better hiding spots closer to home.

Kiser lived in a mobile home near his mother and sister, and his job. He and his brother owned a store. He didn’t have a phone at his home, but used one at his old place down the road, which had a trailer, storage building, and junk cars. He often visited to work on cars.

Days later, his truck was found near the old place – unlocked, with the keys in it. This was unusual for him. His checkbook, money, and store deposits were inside, but his gun was missing. There was blood in the old trailer, but no body or weapon. Tests couldn’t confirm if the blood was Kiser’s.

Unfortunately, some evidence was lost over the years, and DNA testing was unsuccessful. Kiser’s family thinks he was murdered in the trailer, but his body hasn’t been found. No one has been arrested, and there’s been no activity in his bank accounts since he vanished. His brother pays his taxes, and his mother keeps his mail. The case remains a mystery. It’s noteworthy that Kiser was a former sheriff’s deputy.
