20-year-old Justin Bailey has been missing since Sunday from his Kamas, Utah, home. KUTC reports that Bailey, who is autistic, is about 5’ 10” and weighs 120 pounds, has short brown hair and hazel eyes, and was last seen wearing jeans and a gray t-shirt. I remember Jacob Allen being lost for a few days last October and then found and hope Justin Bailey is all right and will be found soon.
A 25-year-old autistic man, Keith T. Kennedy, has been missing since Sunday from a camp for disabled adults in Wisconsin, the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.
Sad, I keep checking in, hoping for a happy update.
Adding my thoughts & prayers here…
Thanks, Kristina for always keeping us up-to-date on these cases.
Justin Bailey has been found.
That’s excellent news about Justin.
Keith T. Kennedy has not yet been located and because of his time-sensitive medical condition (needs anti-rejection drugs for transplanted kidney) there was a reiteration in the last news reports of a need for search volunteers.
Description: Keith Kennedy, 25, is 5 feet 6 inches tall and weighs 140 pounds. He was last seen wearing an orange T-shirt and blue jeans. He might not answer to his name.
Contact: Anyone with information about Kennedy should call 715-349-2128 (Sheriff’s Dept).
Search volunteers: Anyone interested in joining the search can call 715-488-2690 (Trade Lake Camp) .
Bailey apparently left a note for his family in which he “expressed displeasure with his situation,” according to today’s Deseret News.
And in LA, an 8 year old autistic boy was lost and found. Too many of these stories….
Hope and regret in Keith Kennedy’s father, Bruce Kennedy.
The search for Kennedy continues today. I hope that they are able to find him alive.
There are so many members of the public and search and rescue teams from WI and MN who have dropped everything to help hunt for this young man, I know it’s only online, but I would like to salute them for this.
“…(Burnett County, WI, Sheriff Dean) Roland pleaded for more volunteers for the final day of searching on Sunday. Those wanting to help should go to the Burnett County fairgrounds in Grantsburg (WI) starting at 7 AM. Replacement volunteers will be needed throughout the day.
On Saturday about 400 searchers responded to the sheriff’s pleas for help. Meantime the sheriff’s department asked residents within 20 miles of the camp to search their garages, sheds and other out buildings for any signs of Keith Kennedy. ”
