Bakersfield Police Seek Missing At-Risk Woman Last Seen Near 8th Street

Police ask the community to help find Kymber Lynn Randall

BAKERSFIELD — The Bakersfield Police Department is asking for help locating Kymber Lynn Randall, a 28-year-old woman reported missing and considered at risk because of her mental-health status.

Police said Randall was last seen at approximately 1:30 p.m. Friday, August 28, in the 700 block of 8th Street in central Bakersfield. The appeal remained active when this report was published Monday afternoon.

Randall is described as 5 feet 2 inches tall and approximately 183 pounds, with short blonde hair and brown eyes. She was last seen wearing a white shirt, black pants and no additional clothing description was included in the public alert.

Where and when she was last seen

The reported location is in central Bakersfield. Police have not publicly described the direction Randall may have traveled, whether she was walking or in a vehicle, or whether investigators have identified a later confirmed sighting.

Those missing details matter because unverified social-media reports can pull attention away from the location and timeline officers are checking. Anyone who believes they saw Randall should note the exact place, approximate time, direction of travel and any vehicle information rather than trying to investigate alone.

The official image displayed with this story was issued by the Bakersfield Police Department. It should be used to help recognize Randall, not altered, mocked or paired with speculation about her private medical history.

How to provide information safely

Anyone with information about Randall's location is asked to call the Bakersfield Police Department at 661-327-7111. Call 911 if there is an immediate danger or urgent medical emergency.

A useful tip should separate what the caller personally observed from what someone else reported. If safe, preserve the time and location attached to a photograph or surveillance recording and provide it directly to investigators rather than posting sensitive details publicly.

Residents should not approach, detain or follow anyone they believe may be Randall. Contact police and allow trained responders to confirm the person's identity and determine what assistance may be needed.

Share the current status—not an outdated alert

Missing-person information can change quickly. This report will be updated if the Bakersfield Police Department announces that Randall has been located or materially changes the appeal.

Before resharing the image, readers should check the timestamp and the latest status. If she is found, older posts should be updated or removed so an ended alert does not continue circulating and unnecessarily intrude on her privacy.

As of publication, no verified announcement reviewed by What’s the Scoop With Broach said that Randall had been found. The absence of an update should not be treated as evidence about what happened to her; it means the public request for information remains active.
