The Search for DeOrr Kunz Jr. Continues

On July 10th 2015, DeOrr Kunz Jr. went missing while camping with his family at Timber Creek Campground in Leadore, Idaho. His disappearance has been shrouded in mystery ever since, with no clues or leads as to what happened to the then two-year-old little boy.

Deorr Kunz parents are Jessica Mitchell and DeOrr Kunz Sr., who were both present at the campground the day of his disappearance. Jessica is Deorr’s mother and DeOrr Sr. is his father.

Since the disappearance, both parents have been under intense scrutiny from law enforcement and the public alike. The months following Deorr’s disappearance were filled with suspicion towards Jessica and DeOrr Sr., eventually leading to their divorce. Jessica remarried soon after leaving their apartment abandoned, but investigators were able to get hold of belongings that had been put into storage and found a jacket which was supposedly being worn by Deorr on the day he disappeared.

In an effort to jumpstart the investigation of Deorr’s case, funds have been raised to aid in finding him alive and well. Klein, who is an advocate for finding Deorr says there will be no furter update on the case until they reach their goal of finding him or bringing closure to this case.

We can only hope that one day soon we will receive answers about what happened to DeOrr Kunz Jr., and justice can be served for this little boy and his parents alike.

Number of People Found After Being Reported Missing

The good news is that of the more than 20,000 missing person cases and 14,000 unidentified body cases reported each year in the United States, many are resolved successfully. In fact, over 90% of missing persons are located by law enforcement agencies within a few days or weeks of being reported missing. This statistic remains consistent year-to-year and is an encouraging sign that law enforcement is doing its job to locate people who have gone missing.

For thoe who are not found so quickly, the National Missing and Unidentified Persons System (NamUs) reports that nearly 75% of all open cases (both unidentified bodies and missing persons) are resolved within one year. This means that despite the thousands of open cases nationwide, many people are reunited with their families each year through diligent investigative work.

It is important to remember that even when a case ends in tragedy with a deceased individual being identified as the missing person, it still counts as a successful resolution because closure can bring much needed comfort to family members.

Despite being declared a person of interest in the case, DeOrr’s father, DeOrr Sr., has always maintained his innocence and still holds out hope that his son will one day be found safe and sound. His mother Jessica has snce remarried and is attempting to move on with her life while never forgetting the little boy she lost so many years ago.
