The Published Last-Seen Day

NamUs MP104789 identifies Hudson as 31 at disappearance. Its Date of Last Contact field spells out January 12, 2021; the narrative says he was last seen on 01/12/2021. The location fields identify Lexington, Kentucky, and Fayette County.¹

The named field clarifies the date label used in this guide. Its agreement with numeric wording in the same record is not a second observation. The account does not identify a time of day, observer, companion, or departure sequence.

A Place Connection Has a Different Role

The NamUs narrative says Hudson frequented the Cardinal Valley Park area in Lexington.¹ That statement supplies a reported place connection. It does not say that he was last observed inside the park on January 12, or that he travelled there afterward.

Those distinctions affect how further material should be filed. A general account of places a person frequented belongs alongside the chronology as context. A dated, attributable observation could become an event. Treating the two as interchangeable would create a sighting the public entry does not document.

Identification and Agency Reference

NamUs lists brown hair and blue eyes, height between five feet six and five feet eight inches, and weight between 155 and 165 pounds. Its clothing and distinctive-feature sections have no entered information.¹ The ranges are retained as published rather than converted to exact measurements.

The investigating-agency entry names Lexington Police Department at (859) 258-3600 and case 2021-022164.¹ Those identifiers help distinguish a relevant later account from a name-only result. Relevant information should be provided to investigators; saving a private source note does not report it to the agency.

The Later Record History

NamUs Case Created is June 21, 2023, while the surrounding webpage displays May 7, 2026 under Date Created. The investigating-agency Date Reported field is unfilled.¹ Neither the blank field nor the later database dates establishes when every earlier concern was reported. Publication history does not establish later contact.

Sourced Accounts and Questions

The reviewed narrative supplies a last-seen day and a park-area connection without placing a dated observation at the park.¹ It does not establish conflicting witness accounts. The unresolved question is how the general place reference relates, if at all, to the documented last contact.

Can you find a public agency account identifying the observation behind January 12? A statement describing its time and location context could show whether the park reference concerns that event or a general pattern. An undated place association cannot answer that question.

When you examine another Cardinal Valley Park reference, can you identify whether it documents an observation of Hudson or repeats the same general description? Match MP104789 and case 2021-022164, keep the source date, and leave an unsupported journey out of the chronology.

Here’s where you come in: explore the relationship between the dated account and place context in your own Research File in Almost Solved. Save the source and your question, preserving the difference between an observation and an association. Leave undocumented movements and explanations open; relevant information belongs with investigators.

Conclusion

The Lexington record provides a last-contact date and a useful place reference with different evidentiary roles. A traceable file retains both without merging them into an assumed park sighting. The original observation question remains open to attributable clarification.
