Wondering how this weekend’s search turned out...

A FAMILY’S PAIN

“The Sheriff’s department was notified and they told us they would have Verizon start pinging his phone on Thursday,” David Bass said.

By midnight, they pinged Kevin’s phone, which could only provide a general location. The area it pointed to was mostly Wilkinson County, but also a small portion of Baldwin County.

According to David Bass, the cell phone’s Android operating system could only provide “anywhere from two to seven mile radius of the location of the GPS on his phone.”

Snip

Roughly 20 people responded to a post on Project Drew’s Facebook page giving times and locations for the search party on June 13 and June 14. The numbers of June 13 are unconfirmed, but only two of an estimated 20 came to search on June 14.

From May 28 to May 29, the Baldwin County Sheriff’s Office as well as local search parties scoured the area. By the morning of May 29, the pinging stopped as Kevin’s phone most likely died.

***I wonder if the general location changed any from when his phone was first pinged around midnight until it last pinged the morning of 29th?

Interesting comments. Have there been any searches in Bartram Forest?

Circumstances of Disappearance
His last known contact was around 5 in the morning through messenger on facebook . It is very out of character for him to leave behind his car, snake, lizard, and dog. He never would have left without contacting his family.

This quote. Just so sad . . .

“On his year anniversary, none of his friends came out or said anything. It’s like he never existed.”

Kevin’s presence remains in his mother’s heart, though his physical traces are slowly diminishing.
