GREENVILLE, N.C. (WITN) - An Eastern Carolina mother is begging for answers in the search for her missing son.

Khalil Jefferson, 22, was last seen on December 2nd at Greensprings Park in Greenville.

On Friday, the mother led a group of loved ones and even strangers along the Greenville greenway walking trail looking for anything that could lead to finding him.

“I’m not going to go away quietly. I’m going to be as loud as I can be,” she said. Persistent is the best word to describe Sonona Jefferson’s mentality in the search for her son.

Now the family is asking for more help. “There are two huge ponds that need to be searched that are within the immediate area of where my son’s car was parked and where I found his belongings,” Sonona said. “We have to search these areas.”

A press conference was held Thursday afternoon which included statements from Sonona Jefferson, Greenville Police Chief Ted Sauls, and Fire/Rescue Chief Carson Sanders.

“He did have the intent to harm himself on that day, that is understood, I’m not trying to hide that from anyone. We understand this, and from there, I pray that he changed his mind. I pray that he changed his mind and he is now out there,” Jefferson said.

Chief Sauls said they have used all avenues available to them locally in the search. He said that they have cadaver dogs coming next week from outside of the area to search where Khalil was last believed to be.

“We hope that we find him somewhere where he maybe just doesn’t want to be found right now, that’s what I keep hope alive for,” Sauls said.

It is with heavy hearts that we announce a body, believed to be that of Khalil Jefferson, was located this morning.

A cadaver dog associated with Loudwater Outfitters, a non-profit search and recovery group based out of South Carolina, located human remains at approximately 11:00 this morning, behind Dockside Apartments in the Tar River, adjacent to the greenway. This area, believed to be the last known location of Khalil, was searched numerous times by law enforcement, fire-rescue personnel, family members and volunteer search teams over the last month since Khalil was first reported missing.

The remains have been transported to the Pitt County Medical Examiner’s Office for official identification.

In the meantime, please continue to keep Khalil’s loved ones in your thoughts and prayers.
