Dateline: Missing in America - Ep. 8: Kent Jacobs

Kent Jacobs, a 41-year-old man with a developmental disability, went for a walk near his mother’s home in Hope Mills, North Carolina on March 10, 2002, and never returned. He was last seen walking about a mile from the Colonial Heights neighborhood on a road called Brooklyn Circle. Dateline’s Josh Mankiewicz talks to two of Kent’s siblings, Keith Jacobs and Kim Baber, and Nan Trogdon, a retired detective who worked Kent’s case for five years. Kent was 5'6" and 150 lbs. with dark curly hair and brown eyes when he vanished. He would be 62 years old today. If you have information call the Cumberland County Sheriff's Office at 910-323-1500.
