Glen Canyon National Recreation Area officials said Kemper works in the Lees Ferry district in Marble Canyon, Arizona. The recreation area includes the area around Lake Powell and lower Cataract Canyon in Utah and Arizona.

Officials said Kemper may be on his way to Marble Canyon or may have gone off the side of the road because of weather.

This article's info is very scary MOO (BBM):

"The last person to see Matt Kemper alive on Jan. 4 said that he was sad and that "nobody would care if he was alive or not," said his sister.

Matt reportedly showed photos of his sister and himself as kids and was nostalgic.

"He said to the person this is my last day. He gave his jacket to the person and insisted they keep it," said Kemper.

Matt Kemper was last reported at the Red Rock Casino, Las Vegas, said Kemper.

"He does not live there. The witness said he was under severe emotional duress. He texted four close friends a goodbye message and then left the hotel," said Kemper.

After receiving the goodbye text messages, two friends called 911 since the messages were "out of character" for Matt."

Amy Kemper has expressed her disappointment with the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department claiming their response time is poor.

"It is beyond deflating and frustrating that Matt, a Navy veteran and a Government employee is being treated like a John Doe or someone who just ran off. His life matters," said Amy Kemper.

A request for comment from the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department was not immediately returned.

Amy Kemper also said she is worried for her brother's well-being and that he be dead as the weather "has been really rough out [in Nevada]."

"This is one of my biggest fears and why I am pushing so hard to find him and his truck," said Amy Kemper.

An updated flyer has been made by Amy Kemper in hopes of tracking down his truck — a 2018 grey 4-door diesel Chevy Colorado truck with Utah plates — to enlist the help of search and rescue specialty groups.
