Kevin Belknap was 185-190 lbs at the time of his disappearance in April of the same year. The ensuing months until JD's death was plenty of time for KB to gain that weight, especially if he had a heart condition and/or diabetes. The summer months can worsen those conditions, so I think the weight discrepancy makes a whole lot of sense.
KB disappeared from Connecticut, and his vehicle was found east in Rhode Island. If he was leaving his life, it makes sense to me he would've abandoned his vehicle in the opposite direction of the way he intended to travel, in this case, VA Beach.
There's a link between Connecticut and Va Beach, too.
Kevin disappeared from New London County, home of two things (among others): a Naval Submarine Base and the Electric Boat Works (manufacturer of submarines.)
Virginia Beach and nearby cities has a huge naval presence. Norfolk Naval Shipyard being the most significant but that area was a Navy town for most of its existence.
So there could have been a reason for Kevin to there. Maybe he'd been there before.
