LEADORE — The family of DeOrr Kunz Jr. is holding a search for the missing Idaho Falls toddler today at the Timber Creek Campground in Lemhi County.
Two years ago DeOrr vanished while on a camping trip with his parents, great-grandfather and a friend of his great-grandfather on July 10, 2015. There has been no sign of the toddler since that day, and nobody has been charged in connection to his disappearance.
DEORR’S GRANDMOTHER: I WILL KEEP SEARCHING FOR HIM UNTIL THE DAY I DIE
DeOrr’s grandmother, Trina Bates Clegg, organized today’s search and says the public is invited.
“Until I know in my heart that I’ve covered every inch of that area, which may never happen in my lifetime, but until I feel confident that I’ve covered more areas and I’ve seen more ground, I’ll go back there until the day I die. I don’t care if I’m 90 years old,” Clegg said.
The search begins at 9 a.m. Volunteers are asked to wear appropriate shoes and bring food and water. Click here for more information.
