Searching Everywhere
Even though a helicopter had been dispatched to assist in searching for sweet Kaydon, a ground operation had been launched to assist the overall operations. Within a specific area covering approximately 2000 acres of mountain terrain, the entire search and rescue team consists of nearly 100 first responders. The main question lingered until it was too late: would they be able to locate the young boy before it was too late?

Marian O’Briant, a spokeswoman for the Blount County Sheriff’s Office, told WVLT News that both ground search parties and military assistance would thoroughly investigate the area throughout the evening to locate Kaydon. This was not only a difficult assignment, but there was also no time to waste. Multiple searches were going on simultaneously, so there was no way they couldn’t find him.
