This case bothers me alot. Devon was a strong young man and capable of well defending himself if he was attacked somewhere. He was last seen walking east near the Sawridge, (the day following his disappearance according to his father who was interviewed at the time) which would have him following highway 16, the Yelllowhead. Devon had left his wallet and ID in the apartment. Just hours after his departure he left a cryptic message on Facebook talking about himself in the 3rd person. That was it as far as any further communication.
Park Rangers assisted Police in scouring many places and especially those that Devon liked the most. Posters were out.
Highway 16 (Yellowhead) is not the greatest route to be hitch-hiking, (neither is any highway across America apparently), however Highway 16 seems to have the worst reputation of missing and murdered persons.
Did Devon feel down enough to hurt himself? Did Devon meet with foul play persons he couldn't defend himself from?
Or did he get lucky and find a ride, or a place that accepted him without ID? Is he working somewhere under an assumed name, whether in artisan type of work, or singing in a band (with appearance changed...hair colour, style change, etc etc?)
I have scoured artsy places as well as karaoke and bands and also visited "street" news where I could find it, to no avail. Like Dylan Koshman and many others across the country, Devon has vanished. I will continue to scour places that Devon may have been drawn to, just in case.
My regrets to the family who still have no closure; may God see it in his will to help all families have some closure.
