    Town of Diana- With the search for 24-year-old Kenneth McCall entering its
    4th day, the family will be organizing search efforts today as local agencies
    have scaled back on their search.

    Valerie McCall, Kenny's mother, is asking volunteers to meet at the Tidd
    Road/Route 812 intersection in the Town of Diana at 9 AM this morning.
    Mr. McCall was last seen around 4 AM on Tuesday, June 13th, and is thought
    to have travelled west on the Tidd Road. Emergency agencies have performed
    a grid search of the area over the past three days.

    Mrs. McCall said that a group of medics from Fort Drum will be joining the
    family in their search efforts today, as well as a drone operator. The family is
    asking for additional volunteers to help with the search, especially anyone with
    special training. The search area is very remote and densely wooded, so
    volunteers are asked to wear pants, boots and other appropriate gear.
    Supplies, such as water, bug spray, flashlights and air horns are also needed.

    "We also want to encourage anyone who may have seen him walking after 2
    AM on the 13th to call the Lewis County Sheriff's Office at 315-376-3511 to
    give a report," Mrs. McCall said. "Someone may have even given him a ride or
    let him use their phone," she continued.

    Mr. McCall was wearing only a pair of black shorts, with no shirt or shoes, his
    mother said. He was wearing a baseball cap and carrying a blue gym bag. She
    said that his phone had gotten damaged earlier when swimming in the river.

    "He may be trying to get back to Lowville or Cortland, or could be hurt and
    dehydrated somewhere," Mrs. McCall said. "We are just baffled right now. He
    may think he is in trouble but he's not," she said.

    Anyone with any information is asked to call the Lewis County Sheriff's Office
    at 315-376-3511.
