Kentucky State Police Post 9 in Pikeville is asking for the public's assistance as part of an ongoing missing person investigation.

Kentucky State Police was contacted on May 12, 2022 regarding a missing man from Floyd County.

Initial KSP investigation revealed that Gordon 'Terry' McKinney, 54 years old of Harold, Kentucky was last seen on May 9, 2022 in the Harold community of Floyd County.

Gordon 'Terry' McKinney is described as white male, 5'8" tall, 210 pounds with brown hair and blue eyes. There are no descriptions regarding what clothing he was wearing when he was last seen. He also drives a vanilla colored 2013 Kia Soul with Kentucky License plate ALB 185.

I also happen to notice that television station WYMT from Hazard, Kentucky has conflicting dates when Gordon 'Terry' McKinney was last seen.

One date has him last seen by family on May 6 and another date has him last talking to his family on May 7.

I was checking the news media from the Eastern Kentucky region and came across this news story from Prestonsburg, Kentucky.

I want to point out that according to Google, the distance from Harold, Kentucky to Prestonsburg, Kentucky is 15 miles.

WYMT-TV from Hazard, Kentucky and WSAZ-TV from Huntington, West Virginia are reporting that the body of an unidentified man was recovered from the Levisa Fork River on Wednesday by Prestonsburg Police.

The Kentucky State Police is conducting the investigation into the unidentified body that was retrieved from the river in Prestonsburg.

The identity of the unidentified body has not been confirmed and the body was sent to the State Medical Examiner's Office in Frankfort, Kentucky for autopsy and identification.

IF the body is identified as Mr. McKinney's where is his car? From the article upthread:
<BBM>

"Officers with the department say they were in the Ball Alley curve area of the Lancer community, following up on a call related to an ongoing investigation. After viewing a video related to the case, the officers were sweeping the river area when they recovered a body of a man".

Wonder what they saw on the video?

I couldn't get the above link to the Youtube video to work and I don't know why it wouldn't work.

If anyone wishes to see this youtube video, it can be found in Youtube search under WOWK 13 News.

I don't know how long this video will be in the WOWK 13 News Youtube Channel.
