County man. Kenneth W. McCall, 24, originally from Lowville, was last seen around 4 AM on Tuesday morning, headed west on the Tidd Road. Lewis County Undersheriff Jim Monnat said officials have been performing a grid search on the north side of the Tidd Road today, with the assistance of a New York State Police helicopter. The helicopter includes two NYS Forest Rangers providing eyes to the ground. Undersheriff Monnat said his agency has been assisted by NYS Police, NYS DEC, Lewis County Emergency Management, and volunteers. He estimated about 20 - 25 emergency personnel have been involved in the search, as well as search dogs. The search is concentrated in the last known area where Mr. McCall was, with his 25-year-old female companion. The female reportedly awoke to find Mr. McCall missing, and has been unable to provide any additional meaningful details. The Undersheriff said that footprints were found leading into a wooded area on the north side of the Tidd Road, where the search is currently being conducted. Undersheriff Monnat said the department has followed up on a number of leads, some that have helped, stating that their original theory has been disproven, declining to elaborate. Undersheriff Monnat said that Mr. McCall's vehicle was located on the first day of the search on the Kimballs Mill Road, in the Town of Diana. The search will move to a different area of the Tidd Road tomorrow, where a command center has been established, if nothing turns up tonight. While still following up on any leads throughout the night, search efforts have been suspended each evening around 7 PM. Anyone with information on Mr. McCall's whereabouts is asked to call the Lewis County Sheriff’s Office at 315-376-3511. |
