I just wanted to post this because its such a mysterious case.
14 year old Kevin McClam dissapeared from his familys home at Charleston Naval Weapons Station sometime during the early hours of March 30 1997. He was last seen by his family at 1am in their home playing video games.
It is believed someone of his description was also seen in the aftenoon of 30 March walking along a dirt road in just his tennis shoes and boxer shorts. He was alone and did not appear to be distressed. Kevins clothes were later found at a nearby construction site. There has been no sign of him since- no clues no leads.

GOOSE CREEK - On most days, only rats and snakes creep through the murky tunnels at Charleston Naval Weapons Station. But on Tuesday, they were joined by searchers looking for a missing boy. They didn't find him. ``Snakes and other animals in the ditch do have the right of way,'' a man instructed the team as it headed down a dark and dreary, wastewater drainage system in search of missing teen Kevin McClam.
About 50 emergency workers from the weapons station, Charleston County Rescue Squad and the Charleston, North Charleston and Ashley River fire departments searched the system for several hours. But they found no signs of the 14-year-old Marrington Middle School student who disappeared March 30, 1997.
``It's good they didn't find him there,'' said Kevin's mother, Tracey McClam. She and Naval Criminal Investigative Service agent Dan McCarthy say they are turning their attention now to the public. ``How can he disappear off the face of the earth without somebody helping him?'' McCarthy said. He asks that citizens donate money to a Crime Stoppers fund so a substantial reward for information about the youth's disappearance can be offered. ``It might bring someone forward who has knowledge,'' he said. Kevin's mother is convinced her son was with someone the day he disappeared. His clothes were found on a dirt road in a wooded area at the station, and local psychic Elizabeth Baron and New Jersey psychic Dorothy Allison have said at least two people were with him. ``I know Kevin wouldn't go out there in those woods by himself,'' McClam said. The McClam family will be moving to another state next month, and McClam said she prays someone will come forward before then. ``It's very important. If somebody's out there, if they're scared to come forward, tell somebody - an adult or someone that will come forward for them. They don't even have to leave their name.'' She said she has prepared herself for the truth about what happened to her son. But the unanswered questions hurt".........

Does anyone have ANY idea what might have happened to Kevin? I seriously have none. I remember reading that maybe Kevin had some kind of fit enduced by the the video game he was playing- but thats seems so unlikely. If that was Kevin spotted in just his boxers on March 30 afternoon where had he been all day? Where did he spend the night? His mother said it was unusual for him to even miss a meal- so why would he be gone for a whole day without contact?- as it seems likely that was him ?And who or what caused him to take of his clothes? Is it possble that Kevin is still alive somewhere and unaware of who he is?Why didnt he call for help?
Any ideas? Anyone?
