After 25 years, the mystery of Almond Gene Little's disappearance was resolved when Houston Police confirmed that remains found in Harris County Cemetery belonged to him. Little, last seen alive in 1999, had passed away in a local hospital a year later, with hospital records listing him only as "Gene Little," leaving his family unaware of his fate.
His daughter, Lovetta Little-Smith, expressed her relief upon learning of her father's identification, saying, "It's like I've been released," according to Click2houston. Despite Houston Police closing the case with no signs of foul play, she still has lingering questions about the circumstances surrounding his death.
Almond Gene Little was last seen in 1999. His family filed a missing person report in 2011, and he was legally declared dead in 2021. His daughter, Little-Smith, kept memories of him through photographs, including a final picture with her children before he disappeared. She said, "It took up a lot of my time. It took up a lot of my emotions," as reported by KHOU. Little-Smith plans to visit her father’s gravesite with her family to mark the end of the long period of uncertainty.
