I am the girlfriend that Kenny spoke of in the video. There are
so many posts. I had no idea until a friend let me know. So many
people are wondering what happened and guessing different things.
You are heart felt about the sadness around what has happened with
Kenny. He has not been found and I feel that he probably will not
be found for many, many months, if ever. I want to share what I
know and feel about what happened, so that you might bring some
closure and understanding in your own lives. Kenny absolutely loved
hiking in the desert. It was his very, very favorite thing to do.
We hiked and camped together all over the Nevada desert....
sometimes 9 hours in a day. We found many abandoned mining towns,
usually referred to as "ghost towns" by Nevada hikers. We explored
many caves and mine shafts. We were always careful how we explored
them, but Kenny was a bit more daring than I was. We wore snake
guards, sun protected clothing, used walking sticks, brought enough
water and food for the hiking hours and had extra water/food in the
car. (He rarely drank all his water.) We took wonderful pictures of
all sorts of things we saw... rusted cars, old falling down
buildings, cemeteries, mines, wild animals, tarantulas, scorpions,
trees, cactus and flowers. Our deserts are beautiful, if you have a
love for deserts. They are not "spooky" scary but you do have to be
careful of the terrain and of course bring enough water and food.
We always were excited when we saw desert wild life, like the big
horn sheep in the video. They are stunningly beautiful to see in
person in our desert. We would stand quietly still to watch them as
long as possible. I was so very excited to see the one he filmed in
his video. I want you to know that I do not think Kenny had an
accident. I believe he committed suicide. He battled depression for
many years and would not take medication or see a doctor. He quit
his job a little more than a year before he disappeared. He wanted
to see if he could sell his inventions and do what he called
"Cowboy Interior Design" for homes. He bought his first home five
years ago and had an amazing ability of decorating in this style.
He was not successful in getting a business going and was running
out of money after a year of not working. He no longer wanted to
work in a "job" for someone else and as his money decreased he
became more and more depressed. He really did not look for another
job. In early Oct, with seeing his depression increase, I said to
him, "You aren't going to pull a Robin Williams on me are you"?
This is when he opened up more about his depression and his
thoughts much of his life about suicide. His father committed
suicide when Kenny was in his early 20's. When I asked him the
question he answered me with "If I decide to do it, you will be OK
because you are good at the Law of Allowing." He asked me what I
would think of him if he did it. He also said if he decided to do
it "No one will ever find me." It would be easy to do something
like this in our desert with the number of natural caves and mines.
He could hike many miles in a day so there is no telling where or
how far he could have hiked during his 3 day 2 night solo hike.
When he did not call me after the 3rd day of being gone I called
missing persons. The search for him was started within a couple
days of my call. Over 30 search and rescue team members searched 3
different times on foot. One helicopter fly over was done and there
was no trace of Kenny or any of his camping things. They found his
car in the area I told them it would be. They did find his cell
phone by the mine shaft in the video. The mine shaft was only about
a 4 hour hike from his car. It is my feeling he left it behind so
that he could not be tracked form the GPS in it. He also did not
take his video camera with him on this solo hike. It was left in
his home. So, he had no intention of filming anything.
I share this with you for two reasons. First, so that you have
more of an understanding who Kenny was and to bring some peace or
understanding to the situation. Secondly, if any of you do decide
to go out into our desert to look for him or the M Cave, be careful
and bring enough water and food. Walking sticks are a good idea and
not doing a solo hike. Bring a GPS and make sure that you have let
family or friends know that you are heading out for the hike and
where and when you will be returning. A search really can't be on a
one day hike. You would be repeating much of the same hike....just
getting up the mountain and then be left with not many hours in the
day to do the search. You would need 2 or 3 days at a time and in
the summer, or even late spring, this can not be done because of
the heat of our desert. You would not be able to carry enough
water. So, please, please be careful. I had many wonderful
experience with Kenny and will always remember them and have a
place of love in my heart for him and the wonderful things we did
together. I am healing from my loss and look forward to new
experiences with desert hiking, camping and taking beautiful
pictures of our desert. Enjoy your adventures of life and thank you
for the kind loving comments sent my way.
Much Love, Sheryon :)
