T'Montez Hurt is a freshman at Missouri Western State University, but the 19-year-old is originally from St. Louis. Thursday, February 1st, 2024, Hurt is with a friend in Kansas City when he makes an early morning phone call to his grandmother. Tecona Donald-Sullivan says Hurt isn't sounding like his normal self, he sounds as if he is scared, terrified, as if he is in some type of mental distress. She calls Kansas City police, who track Hurt down and take him to Saint Luke's Hospital, but he is released after a few hours of observation. According to his grandmother, Hurt is taken by Z Trip Taxi to the Greyhound bus station. The station, however, is closed when Hurt arrives just before noon. Hurt discovers he has left his phone in the Z Trip Taxi and is seen on surveillance video trying to get back into the taxi but is unable to. He starts walking, south. He has not been seen or heard from since.
