Ken Holmgren received a chilling phone call from his father, Elmer Holmgren, in February 1991, where his father instructed him to call the ATF if he didn’t hear from him again. Elmer was working for a wealthy couple, Kenneth and Sante Kimes, in Las Vegas and was later cooperating with the ATF as a witness against them in a suspected arson. Despite this cooperation, Elmer disappeared, and his son, Ken, was frustrated by the lack of investigation into his father’s disappearance by authorities.
Sante Kimes and her son, Kenny Kimes Jr., were later convicted of two separate murder plots, capturing national attention. The Kimes family lived a lavish lifestyle with multiple properties in Hawaii, Las Vegas, and the Bahamas. A fire at the Kimes’ beachfront home in Honolulu was determined to be intentionally set, leading to a legal dispute over the property’s sale. Elmer disappeared while in protective custody, and his role in the suspected arson was revealed to his son later by an ATF agent.
Despite the involvement of the Kimes family in various criminal activities, including murder, their suspected arson case and Elmer’s disappearance were not fully investigated or resolved. Sante Kimes passed away in prison, and the family faced legal troubles without being held accountable for all of their crimes. Elmer’s fate remains a mystery, and Ken Holmgren hopes for more answers from authorities regarding his father’s disappearance.
