Family members had said that Kenneth disappeared on May 11 from his house in Salyersville.
Robert Prater, a family friend and the Magoffin County Emergency Management Director, said that from what he knew the family was on the front porch when the child vanished.
“I think the dad may have been on the front porch talking with maybe one of his brothers. I think the child slipped out the back door,” Prater told WYMT.
“Yeah, it’s just like he disappeared. No sign, no nothing. That’s the reason I’m starting to think, if we can’t find him, somebody’s picked him up,” Howard said, adding that he was offering a $5,000 reward.
