Where Is Kyle Fleischmann?

Richard Fleischmann says this picture of his son shows Kyle's character. Kyle worked with special needs children.

Kyle Fleischmann is an all-American guy.  The handsome, 6'0" tall Elon University graduate is well-liked, and his friends and family say he's very outgoing and fun to be around.

While he attended Elon, Kyle was Vice President of his fraternity, where he was actively involved community service initiatives.

His friends say Kyle liked to have a good time and had his head on straight.

So the nature of his sudden disappearance after a night out with friends and family has Kyle's loved ones fearing the worst.

On Thursday, November 8, 2007, Kyle caught Dane Cook's stand-up act at Bobcats Stadium in Charlotte, N.C.

Kyle's mother and sister were also in the audience, and when the show ended Kyle and his friends walked to Buckhead Saloon, where he met his family.

Kyle's friends and family left the bar while Kyle stayed back, until the Saloon's security camera captured images of the 24-year-old exciting the bar around 2:20 a.m.

Kyle made several phone calls between then and 3:30 a.m. but didn't leave any messages, and hasn't been heard from since.

Kyle returned to neither his car nor his home, and all calls that have since been made to his cell have gone straight to his voicemail.

Police say the activity on his cell phone after leaving the Saloon is concentrated in the uptown Charlotte area and the First Ward area. His cell phone activity ended around 4:00 a.m.

On November 13, 2007 they conducted a massive search effort, starting at the Buckhead Saloon where he was last seen.  They say they'll continue to look for Kyle until he is found.

Kyle Spotted After Buckhead Saloon

This timeline shows Kyle captured on surveillance video in various locations after his friends left. Fleischmann also made several phone calls into the night, including calling his father's office 4 times in 8 minutes.

Cops say a witness came forward in October 2008 who saw Kyle after he left the Buckhead Saloon.

The witness, an employee at Fuel Pizza in Charlotte, N.C., says Kyle came into the restaurant a few minutes after leaving the bar.

Cops say it would have been around 2:25 a.m.

The employee told police Kyle came in by himself, but the restaurant got very crowded shortly thereafter. Cops say the employee never saw Kyle leave.

But the new lead has not brought investigators any closer to finding Kyle. They are still seeking any information about the night he went missing.

Friends And Family Form Foundation

Since Kyle’s disappearance, donations have come in from around the country to help with the search.

In 2007, Kyle’s family and friends formed The Kyle Fleischmann Foundation (KFF), a charitable and educational foundation that uses donated funds to help families find other missing adults.

The foundation also works to prevent future disappearances. Among their goals, the foundation plans to send speakers to schools and groups to talk about safety, self defense and dealing with the disappearance of a loved one.

On Saturday, Nov. 8, 2008, the foundation held the inaugural Kyle Fleischmann Golf Outing and Banquet Dinner. The event drew more than 100 participants and raised $10,000 for the foundation.
