Our card this week is Kevin Nugent, the 10 of spades from Indiana.

Since 2018, the mystery of Kevin's disappearance has become the subject of rumors and Reddit threads.

Some of you have even reached out to us directly to look into this case.

And that's because even though there is video footage of Kevin in the hours before he vanished on a cold December night, what we can see on the footage just leads to more questions than answers.

And police aren't showing all of their cars.

They're keeping a lot of details close to the vest.

even as they release new clips to us in hopes that someone remembers seeing Kevin that night before he walks off screen for the last time and is never seen again.

I'm Ashley Flowers, and this is The Deck.

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, Leanne Yankee, 19 years old at the time, told us that she still remembers dropping him off that night.

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

More than seven and a half years later, Leanne 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 p.m.

He seemed like his normal self, his goofball self.

Kevin Nugent'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 Nugent.

Now, Leigh-Anne 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 Leigh-Anne, they were really close.
