Who Is Kolby Kulhanek & What Happened To Him?

Kolby Kulhanek is a young man who was born on June 3, 1993. At the age of 25, Kolby’s body was found after he had gone missing. According to reports, the last time Kolby was seen was on 12th October 2018 by his family. His brother last spoke to Kolby as he washed his blue Audi in the yard.

Kolby Kulhanek didn’t return home that night or pick up any of his calls, his family began to panic and were concerned about his whereabouts. They reported that Kolby Kulhanek was missing.

The Hardin County investigators initially suspected no third-party negligence. They began to search for Kolby. Kolby’s family described him as a pleasant person and hoped he was safe somewhere. Kolby’s brothers told 12News, “He is a really good kid, likable guy.

He was always cutting jokes. We want you to come home; we love and miss you. I fear the worst. I’m hoping he’s somewhere.”

Was Kolby Kulhanek Found?

Kolby Kulhanek’s vehicle was found several days after his disappearance. His keys and one of his shoes were found nearly 100 yards away from his car. Kolby’s brother, Kevin Kulhanek said, “The placement of the stuff that’s been found, it doesn’t make sense. We don’t [know] if it’s foul play or if he’s missing, we just don’t know.”

A search and rescue organization that had conducted thousands of missing person operations called Texas Equusearch assisted in finding Kolby Kulhanek. Locals also joined the search efforts, using ATVs, boats, and drones to cover the vast search area. “It’s a big blessing for us to have all of the support,” Kevin told 12News. “Friends, family, and neighbors coming out here and helping us it’s unbelievable.”

Eventually, Kolby Kulhanek was found dead. His body was found by a County Sheriff’s Department helicopter on 23rd October 2018. His body was found 11 days after his disappearance. Kolby’s headstone features an image of the aircraft: it was piloted by a person dear to the family. “We ask everyone just to keep our family in their prayers,” Kolby’s father said.

What Happened After Kolby Kulhanek Was Found?

After Kolby Kulhanek’s body was found, the Hardin County Justice of the Peace Charles Brewer told KFDM that Kolby’s sinuses had watery fluids, suggesting possible drowning. He added that there were no visible wounds on Kolby’s body and decomposition indicated Kolby spent about a week in water.

The Beaumont Enterprise obtained reports stating that authorities would release the cause of death ‘pending toxicology and police investigations,’ processes expected to take six to eight weeks. “We are investigating this as a questionable death situation,” Hardin County Sheriff’s Maj.

Dennis Allen told The Beaumont Enterprise. “We still have a lot to do and the investigation is ongoing. We are letting the facts lead us.” Kolby Kulhanek’s death investigation has been a drag since 2018. There was no definite cause of death while his family strongly believes he was murdered and is very hungry for justice.

“The family of Kolby Kulhanek is not backing down from finding the truth about the death of Kolby,” the post read. “They have hired a private investigation firm. We hope anyone who has answers comes forward to help the family.”

The name of the firm was not publicly announced. Kulhanek’s family was seeking justice for their son, brother, and father because they believe he was murdered in cold blood. A Facebook user Kyle Copeland has reportedly claimed that he already has leads on Kolby’s killers.

He also claims that he would murder the two suspects in a bid to avenge Kolby Kulhanek.
