This popped up in my FB feed but it didn’t mentioned he was found deceased. How sad.

I didn't realize Roger was located so close to his home. LE and Fire searched using infrared drones. I wonder if he was on Shiloh Rd the entire time or if he backtracked to that location after wandering farther away. Either way, another sad ending for one of our elders. Rest in peace, Mr. Kephart.

Sadly, Mr. Kephart has been located deceased. His body was located by a group of volunteers near the 500 block of Shiloh Rd. The BPD is investigating, however at this time there is nothing that appears suspicious. The family thanks everyone for their concern.
