Around noon today (Wednesday), the Adair County Sheriff’s Office learned of a young male from Casey County that had just been reported missing. Casey County Sheriff Chad Weddle confirmed that a missing person’s report had just been filed, and that the boy had left home yesterday (Tuesday).
Adair County Sheriff Josh Brockman contacted the boy’s family who advised he would be on a bike and would have a large black backpack on. These, along with other descriptors given to Chief Deputy Justin Cross, matched the description of the pedestrian. The photo taken from a local business security camera was shown to the family who identified the teenager. Sheriff Brockman then directed them to the University of KY Medical Center Intensive Care Unit.
The Adair County Sheriff’s Office received a call from the family around 6:00pmCT this evening (Wednesday) that it was indeed a member of their family, 17-year-old Avel Vundorin of Casey County. Vundorin is still listed in very critical condition.
