[Guess Who]

No word of him drinking or not. If yes, then my bets are in the water. They still are if he wasn't, but I would have a bit more hope.

Last known location of missing College of Charleston student was on Ravenel Bridge, police say​

Law enforcement is searching the Charleston Harbor after the investigation into a missing College of Charleston student revealed his last known location was on the Arthur Ravenel Jr. Bridge.

He later changed into a black hoodie and light-colored pants before walking alone onto the pedestrian entrance to the bridge shortly after 3 a.m., the Charleston Police Department announced Nov. 4.

The first post has three different areas seen and times of two I think and so the time must have changed as they found further sightings or info.

So last place was the pedestrian bridge? That's not good.

 

[GrandmaBear]

Wow a 2.7 mile bike/pedestrian bridge. Looked it up.

I'd be curious to know if anything happened to him on the night out and what his mood was like.

 

[Guess Who]

Hoping he got a ride, but I know those chances are slim .

South Carolina Police Reveal Last Image Taken of Owen Kenney Before Vanishing on Halloween

College student Owen Kenney disappeared in the early morning hours of Halloween.

www.lawyerherald.com

The Charleston Police Department has released what is believed to be the last image of a teenager before he disappeared early on Halloween morning.

"He was minutes from his house but never made it home," Kenney's family stated in a Facebook post that asked for the public's help in finding him.

 

[GrandmaBear]

High on Halloween in Charleston was 67 and the low was 49. Looked it up.

So he likely went out in the Boston uniform which in the one pic shows shorts but had other clothing with it would seem anyhow to be warmer walking home. I don't think of 49 as cold but in Charleston they likely do.

He attended a Halloween event that evening that ran into the wee hours. They are clearly trying not to put a drinking or bar thing on it imo because that is likely what it was whether he drank or not. Not certain but most likely.

No mention of any other stops so probably there all night as far as they know and no accounts so far as to how he was, how he seemed, if there had been any trouble, etc.

That bridge if I recall is 2.5 miles long so adding in whatever distance from it to the bar and to home that's a fair hike. It said he wasn't far from home and so it seems he was heading home and had that intent. It would also seem then that the bridge is a normal part of that walk?

Very little to go on here.

 

[Kimster]

I read that they are searching for him in the water. That’s going be my first guess of where he can be found at this point, sad to say.

 

[GrandmaBear]

Mine too. It's why I wondered about his mood or how his night went...

 

[GrandmaBear]

It just occurred to me at 19 he would not have been in a bar unless he had a fake ID or the bar was known to serve minors. So he was at some other place or event possibly or maybe a house party.

Not that there was where he was last seen but again I wonder how his evening went.
