Kevin Bacon, 25, went missing on Christmas Eve.

Michelle Myers, Kevin Bacon’s friend and roommate, previously told MLive-The Flint Journal that Bacon said around 5 p.m. on Dec. 24 that he was meeting up with a man he’d met on Grindr, a dating app.

At 6:12 p.m., Kevin Bacon texted Myers saying he was going to be out for a while, and he wasn’t sure when he’d be back, but that he was having fun, Myers said.

Karl Bacon, Kevin’s dad, previously said his son was supposed to come over for breakfast around 9 a.m. on Christmas Day but never showed up. Karl Bacon said he was concerned and called police around 5 p.m.

On Dec. 25, Karl Bacon said he met with police in Swartz Creek and later found his son’s car in the parking lot of a plaza near a Family Dollar. Inside the car, police found Kevin Bacon’s phone and wallet, Karl Bacon said. The following day, police found Kevin Bacon’s clothes in a bag in the backseat of his car, his car keys being the only missing items, according to Karl Bacon.

A large search party including family and friends was set up on Friday to try and find Kevin Bacon.
