I am friends with his family. Very sad . They just went public with it today.

Very sorry, I hope he is found safe. Do you know why they waited so long to go public?

Very sorry, I hope he is found safe. Do you know why they waited so long to go public?

So I’m not 100% sure but he’s had some hard times over the years and I’m assuming they thought he’d show back up at some point so maybe didn’t want to “alarm” anyone. But with it being 7 months.... Very sad. His parents and sisters have been through a lot. I just hope they get some closure on where he is or what happened to him. But if I’m being honest it doesn’t look good for a happy ending

Richmond Hill detectives say they found Kennedy’s remains in a wooded area ...

“The parents became family, so telling them the news was kind of difficult.” The family is expected to come to Richmond Hill to pick up his remains and thank law enforcement for their work on the case.

 

[Jsizzle]

Never mind. I see why. I know the family so figured I was allowed to post that.

Never mind. I see why. I know the family so figured I was allowed to post that.

A sad outcome for the family and for you and others who knew him.

Richmond Hill detectives say they found Kennedy’s remains in a wooded area and they say their persistence to find Kennedy was not easy.

“We had leads all the way from Tennessee, all the way down to Florida, down to the Orlando area, Savannah and we followed each and every one of them to try to see if we could find him,” Det. Jesus Gonzalez said.

Lead after lead, Det. Gonzalez says they never gave up hope in finding Kennedy.

“I hadn’t given up hope on finding him alive and I tried to instill that into the parents, we’re going to find Brian,” he said
