Thank you for providing further details. I'm not adept at posting or starting threads appropriately I feel.

Thank you for providing further details. I'm not adept at posting or starting threads appropriately I feel.

I also thought you did an excellent job. Thanks for letting us know about this mysterious disappearance.

I still grow concerned about neglecting to include something or making an error when I start a thread, myself, but as @swanniee11 mentioned, I, too, try to remember the most critical thing is to spread awareness (and as soon as possible).

I hope this man is found safe and alive.

Tuttle man's disappearance leaves family asking for answers

It’s been over two weeks since a 30-year-old Tuttle man disappeared, but his family is still hopeful for him to come home.

www.koco.com

Family members said it was unlike Carlson to be out hiking.

“He’s not the outdoorsy guy,” said William Bost. “It doesn’t fit who Keith is.”

I wonder if they fingerprinted the truck. MOO but this sounds ominously like he could’ve been carjacked and whoever drove the truck to the refuge was not Keith. I hope I’m wrong.

Local to the area. It’s strange that this case isn’t getting covered more. It was probably close to 5 days or so before I noticed anything about it on the local media. Where his truck was found, and the road that is closed for repairs are miles apart. I’m not sure how that’s relevant to the search for him. Him not being an outdoorsy guy as said by the family. I find it highly unlikely he would’ve parked his truck at crater lake, try to walk to mt Scott, and then proceed to climb up it.

 

[#JUSTICE4WILDER]

Thank you for your local knowledge of the area. I'm in Texas and unaware of the proximity between where his truck was located and Mt Scott. Also I have not seen any information on how far out the search for him has reached. Doesn't sound like Keith went there on his own IMO so he could be anywhere.

 

[swanniee11]

According to family, his Birthday was today or yesterday. How sad is this? IMO

If you were going to carjack someone, why would you drive and leave it in a remote location, where someone would have to come pick you up? Usually carjacked vehicles are either taken to a "chop shop" to be sold for parts (most carjacked vehicles end up this way to be chopped up for parts, or, not infrequently, for their accessory items, like performance rims and high-end audio systems, which might be worth more than the car itself. Carjacking also happens for simply a joyride (more typical in large urban areas by youthful offenders) or to have a vehicle to commit another crime -then abandon. But to drive it to a wilderness area after a carjacking, if that is what it was, didn't make sense to me initially. But the license plate missing means someone didn't want it easily traced, so I'm sort of at a loss on what happened here. I only hope he's found and is safe.

I agree. But maybe the vehicle broke down? I can’t be sure but the situation makes me fear for Keith’s outcome. MOO
