Hey everyone, I'm new here and just caught up with Skip Kimball Kelly's case. Something that's been on my mind is the potential impact his TBI might have had on his disappearance. Given the nature of head injuries, it's possible that Skip could have become confused or lost. If he couldn't remember who he was or where he was going, it could explain why he didn't reach out to his family. It breaks my heart to think he might be out there, possibly needing help but unable to ask for it. With his history of traveling between states, I also wonder if there's a chance he wandered off to another area and was unable to find his way back. I hope authorities are spreading the word out-of-state too. If anyone else has insights into how TBIs can impact memory or orientation, please share! It might help paint a clearer picture of what could have happened.
Has anyone been following Skip Kimball Kelly's case closely? I was digging through some old local news articles, and something strange caught my attention. Apparently, a couple of motorists reported seeing a man matching his description along the I-5 corridor near Medford around the time he disappeared. It's interesting because Medford would be on the way to Grants Pass if he was traveling by bus. The reports were vague, and I can’t find any follow-up on whether these leads were checked out thoroughly.
Given his TBI, it makes me wonder if he could have become disoriented and wandered off on foot after leaving Portland. It could explain why there's been no bank activity if he lost access to his funds. I'm curious if there have been more sightings or any new efforts to reach out to communities along the I-5, especially those known for providing support to transients. Sometimes local shelters and food banks can have insights or remember seeing certain people who fit the description.
If anyone knows more or has seen other reports, it would be great to hear about it. Maybe the key is somewhere in those early days, and it just didn’t get enough attention back then. Keeping my fingers crossed for new developments!
Hey everyone, I've been following the Skip Kimball Kelly case and something that keeps coming to mind is his pattern of traveling between states. Has anyone looked into whether he might have ended up in a state other than Oregon? Since he often moved between Washington, Oregon, and California, it seems plausible that he might've tried heading in a different direction due to his TBI or confusion. Maybe there are missing persons cases in nearby states that match his description?
Also, just thinking out loud here, but are there specific bus routes or stations between these areas known for having people going off-grid or starting over? I feel like those could be key places to check for eyewitnesses who might have seen him after June 18, 2020. Anyone from the area have insights or thoughts about this?
