Deorr Kunz Jr.
Deorr Kunz Jr., 2, disappeared in Idaho in July, 2015. For all the latest information, please visit Justiceforbabydeorr.com.
The original story on who was watching Deorr last has changed. It was stated that the Grandfather last saw him, while the parents followed Isaac to the creek to fish. According to Jessica the mom and Isaac, Vernal the Dad, never actually went down to the creek with Jessica and Issac the Grandfather's friend to the creek. Jessica, in a recorded phone call with PI Caroline Gear, had thrown Vernal under the bus, saying that Vernal had actually stayed behind with Baby Deorr and was with him the whole time, not Grandpa. Isaac claims also in a recorded news interview, that Vernal and Baby Deorr was behind him, but when he turned to look back, Vernal and Baby deorr were no longer behind them going to the creek. While Vernal had his son next to him the whole time, an accident most likely occurred then, while everyone else was busy. Vernal had hauled down the road prior to making his 911 call, during the call to 911 and again after. It has been learned that there is a family cooler missing and it is believed that Deorr has been transferred in the cooler to get him out of the campground without anyone else seeing him. No one in town had seen Deorr. Some saw an empty carseat and a cooler, but no Deorr. It was not until after many statements, written and verbal by the parents that it came out according to Vernal and only himself that Deorr was actually playing around the truck counting lug nuts and sticking his hands in the tailpipe. Problem is, there was blood detected on the back of truck and wheelwell that showed up with luminol. The truck had been purchased by Vernal from his best friend AJ one week before the camping trip and sold back to AJ one week after the camping trip and was then sold to a scrap yard for money. The truck no longer exists since shortly the FBI had tested it. Those blood results are in the hands of FBI and will be revealed when a trial is made.
The parents have also failed 4/5 polygraphs given by Law Enforcement and FBI. It appears that in the case of their son Deorr Kunz, that the parents definitely know more on what happened in their son's disappearance.
All animal, kidnapping, illegal adoption, and wandering off have been ruled out by Law Enforcement.
Currently 2nd PI Philip Klein is back on the case since having a fall out with lawsuits by the parents in which he ultimately won and was dismissed. Klein has a goal in finding Deorr and bringing him home for a proper burial.
