Ken Holmgren received a chilling phone call from his father, Elmer Holmgren in February 1991, where Elmer instructed him to contact ATF agents if he didn’t hear from him in a few days. Elmer was working for a couple, Kenneth and Sante Kimes, but Ken was unaware of Sante’s criminal history. Elmer disappeared, and Sante Kimes later gained national attention for multiple crimes. Elmer was reported to be working with the ATF as a witness in a suspected arson case before he vanished. The ATF did not provide information on Elmer’s case and destroyed evidence related to the arson case in the 9/11 attacks. Sante Kimes died in prison in 2014, and Kenneth Kimes Sr. died in 1994. Elmer’s son, Kenny Kimes Jr., was not implicated in the crimes. The Kimes family had multiple properties and wealth. Elmer’s disappearance occurred while he was supposed to be under protective custody, with the ATF losing track of him. Elmer was suspected of being involved in the arson at the Kimes’ property. Elmer’s son, Ken Holmgren, felt frustrated by the lack of investigation into his father’s disappearance and believes that proper action could have prevented further crimes committed by the Kimes family.
