A 2 year old named DeOrr Kunz vanished into thin air while on a remote camping trip in Idaho with his parents, great grandfather and his friend.
Parents say they left him with the great grandfather to go fishing but he was gone when they returned. Great grandfather says never asked to look after him.
The whole thing is odd because the campsite is incredibly remote and a long drive away, and setting off there with a toddler after work with no supplies (they stopped for groceries) is a little unusual. The parents are thought to be being untruthful, in fact one private detective acting pro Bono stopped working with them as he felt they were lying.
Theories are he wandered off because the great grandad wasn’t watching him properly, and died of eg exposure, but also lots think the camping trip was a smokescreen. Was he already dead and they needed somewhere to hide the body? But the friend, the only one who has been consistent throughout, says he did see DeOrr alive at the campsite.
Or, and this is the part that creeps me out because this is what I think, did the parents give him away/sell him to someone and needed to be somewhere discreet to do so? If this is right, I hope it was to someone with good intentions and DeOrr is out there somewhere with a new family, oblivious and happy.
No trace of poor little DeOrr has ever been found.
