The Oklahoma Highway Patrol issued a Kasey Alert Wednesday after a 23-year-old Oklahoma City man was reported missing, authorities said. Troopers said the missing man, identified as Hunter Billen-Mills, was last seen about 4 a.m. on Sept. 16 in Oklahoma City.
Medical and mental-health concerns raise urgency
Officials told investigators Billen-Mills has a history of serious medical and psychological conditions, increasing concern for his safety. The Oklahoma Highway Patrol said he has a heart condition and multiple mental-health issues, including obsessive-compulsive disorder, anxiety and episodes of psychosis. Authorities also noted a history of self-harm and that he recently stopped taking prescribed medication.
The combination of those conditions prompted the endangered missing advisory. Troopers said the Oklahoma Highway Patrol activated the alert on behalf of the Oklahoma City Police Department.
What he looks like and possible vehicle
Authorities provided a physical description and a possible vehicle to assist the public in locating Billen-Mills. He is described as approximately 6 feet tall, weighing about 170 pounds, with brown hair and brown eyes. Officials said they do not know what he was wearing when he disappeared.
Troopers said Billen-Mills may be driving a silver 2021 Subaru Forester with Oklahoma license plate QCK827. The vehicle information is being circulated to law enforcement and the public to broaden the search.

How the alert affects Oklahoma City residents
The Kasey Alert system is designed to mobilize the public quickly when a person is believed to be endangered. For neighbors, motorists and businesses in Oklahoma City, that means keeping an eye out for the described person and vehicle and contacting authorities immediately if they are spotted. Law enforcement routinely asks residents not to approach missing persons believed to be in a fragile mental-health state and to call 911 instead.
Local agencies will continue to share updates as the search progresses. At this stage, officials have not released additional details about where Billen-Mills was prior to going missing or whether surveillance or witness accounts place him in a particular neighborhood. The Oklahoma Highway Patrol and Oklahoma City Police Department are coordinating efforts to locate him.
How to help and what not to do
Authorities ask anyone with information to contact emergency dispatch. Posting unverified personal information or speculation on social media can complicate investigations and cause distress to family members; law enforcement advises that tips be routed directly to official channels so they can be vetted and acted on.
The alert remains active and the situation is developing. The Oklahoma Highway Patrol and the Oklahoma City Police Department did not provide additional comment beyond the details listed in the advisory.
