The Laurel County Sheriff’s Office has issued a Golden Alert for John E. Knight, 36, of Corbin, after authorities reported that contact was last made with him Saturday, Aug. 22, around noon.

According to the Sheriff’s Office, the last known contact with Knight occurred on East Lewis Street in Corbin. Investigators are asking the public to help locate him and report any information that could assist their search.

The Golden Alert was announced Aug. 25, according to a report by WKYT. The alert describes Knight as the subject of an active public-safety effort and directs attention to the last contact time and location provided by the Sheriff’s Office.

Because the report centers on the timeline and the location of the last contact, officials have not, in the information released publicly so far, provided additional details about Knight’s condition or circumstances surrounding the loss of contact. Residents are instead being asked to focus on whether they have seen him since the Aug. 22 midday timeframe.

Golden Alerts are intended to help law enforcement quickly circulate information that may aid in locating individuals when authorities have concerns about their wellbeing. In this case, the Sheriff’s Office said the issue is tied to the inability to reach Knight after the last contact reported on East Lewis Street in Corbin.

Anyone who believes they may have information related to Knight’s whereabouts since Aug. 22 is being urged to share that information with authorities. Law enforcement typically prioritizes tips that include the most recent sightings, where a person was seen, and when that observation occurred.

The next step for the investigation will depend on responses to the alert, including verification of any reported sightings and follow-up interviews or canvassing in the Corbin area. Until Knight is located and accounted for, officials said the public-safety effort will remain active around the last known contact details described by the Sheriff’s Office.

Why It Matters

  • A Golden Alert can quickly expand public awareness using limited, time-sensitive information such as last contact time and location.
  • The Aug. 22 last-contact window means that additional tips about recent sightings could materially affect how quickly investigators narrow their search area.
  • For local families and community members, the alert provides an official focal point for calls and observations in the Corbin area.
  • If Knight is located, authorities can shift from a missing-person response to verifying safety and resolving the circumstances of the lost contact.
