Connecticut Family of Airman Missing from Dover Air Force Base Appeals for Help

The Connecticut family members of a missing airman from Dover Air Force Base who was last seen on Super Bowl Sunday are appealing for help to find him.

Senior airman Keifer Huhman, a member of the 436th Communications Squadron, was last seen between 6 p.m. and 6:30 p.m. on Super Bowl Sunday when he was leaving his Dover, Delaware apartment, according to police in Dover, Delaware.

Huhman never reported for duty on Monday and he was reported missing on Wednesday, according to Dover Police.

It's been a difficult week for the family and Huhman's cousin, Renee Schwarzkopf, said she learned on Monday that her cousin was missing while attending the funeral for her grandmother, who was Huhman's great-grandmother.

Schwarzkopf said Huhman's mother grew up in Connecticut and he has several aunts, an uncle and several cousins here. They are hoping that someone will have some information that will help them find him.

According to police, Huhman was driving a blue 1997 Ford Ranger with Florida license plates and an aerial search of the area he was last seen in revealed that Delaware State Police towed his truck from the shoulder of a bridge around 10 p.m. on Sunday.

Police are now searching the truck for evidence and are treating this as a missing person's case. A spokesperson for the Dover Police Department said on Friday afternoon that there were no additional updates on the case.

The U.S. Air Force has sent out Huhman’s photo in the hopes of finding him.

“The safety of Team Dover personnel is vitally important, and Dover Air Force Base considers itself a tight-knit family,” said the Air Force in a news release. “Base and local authorities are taking every possible step to locate Airman Huhman.”

The Air Force asked anyone with information on Huhman to call 302-677-6664 and Dover police are asking people to call 302-736-7130.
