BOISE, Idaho — Jackie Kelsay is the wife of Curtis "Greg" Kelsay, who has been missing for nearly two weeks and said she believes the
coronavirus pandemic and the uncertainty that it has created drove him to disappear on one April evening.
"He left his wallet with his driver's license, cards, money, he left his phone," she said. "I believe he took a headlamp so that tells me he left when it was dark and I believe he may have had poles, walking poles. One would be red, and one would be blue."
Greg's car was found the next at the Dry Creek trailhead on Bogus Basin Road. That afternoon there was a search party looking for him made up of police, family, friends, dogs, and a drone. That was more than ten days ago and still no sign of Greg has been found.
"I think he knew what he was doing, I think he planned it, I think it was purposeful, I think he felt he had no other choices," Kelsay said.
"He left a note."
For a man that loved his family so much, KTVB asked Jackie why she thinks her husband would not want to be found.
"He was not in his right mind, he had not been sleeping, and that was causing some stress and anxiety and probably depression," she said.
Jackie said Greg had been feeling that way since mid-March.
"The pandemic, the stock market crashing, we have rentals, people might lose their job and wouldn't be able to pay their rent," she said
