Kerry and his sister, Jessica.
He started using methamphetamine, Jessica Keating said, spurred on by his older brother, who is currently incarcerated after his arrest on drug charges. Last year, when Keating moved back to LaPlace, his sister took steps to keep him clean.
"I told him a condition was he would submit to my random saliva drug tests," she said. "He did it and he passed with flying colors every single time."

Keating lived with his sister and started an apprenticeship at her company. In October, he moved out of his sister's place and into his own apartment in Metairie.
He also started hanging out with his older brother, who lived in Gonzales up until his arrest in December.
"It made me nervous when he and Kerry became closer," Jessica Keating said.
Keating and his older brother, 38, were in Gonzalez about 10 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 26, a day before his truck was found.
The two men had been using drugs for hours, Keating's older brother told his sister.

About 11:50 p.m. Sunday, Keating called his nephew. He told his nephew to tell his older brother - the nephew's father - that he didn't steal anything from him, Jessica Keating said.
Keating's nephew called his father, who didn't know what Keating was talking about, and then called his uncle back.
Keating's voice was panicked during the second call, his nephew told Jessica Keating. He told his nephew that someone was chasing him, and that he needed help.
I've changed my mind about foul play. Kerry had done drugs for hours with his brother (which may have included methampetamine). He was at his apartment, then left (for what reason?). He made a bizarre phone call to his nephew about not stealing something, which confused his nephew. His next call to his nephew was when he said he was being chased.
I believe he was hallucinating from the drugs he was taking, ditched his truck after breaking the axle, and accidentally drowned in the water.
