Lemhi County Sheriff’s Office confirms Timber Creek Campground closure
UPDATE: Lemhi County Sheriff’s Office confirms that part of the Timber Creek Campground is closed off.
The Sheriff’s Office plans to search the area in the next few weeks.
The Sheriff’s Office tells Local News 8/KIDK Eyewitness News that U.S. Forest Service is in charge of enforcing the shutdown.
Private investigator Philip Klein released a statement asking the public to stay away from Timber Creek Campground.
Parents of DeOrr Kunz Jr. say the toddler disappeared from the campground July 10.
The investigator posted this to his firm’s Facebook page Saturday afternoon:
“This afternoon we have received calls and emails to our offices to another rumor running around the internet regarding the Deorr Kunz, Jr. case. As seemingly there is a group of individuals that continually try to create side shows and put out information that is not only NOT factual – now they have resorted to simply trying to cast doubt on witnesses.”
“We want to publicly say Issac Reinwand has cooperated with our investigation team fully. He has given four interviews / statements with our firm. As well he has given interviews to Law Enforcement. As Mr. Reinwand was one of the four on the mountain that day – his story has so far been consistent and factual to investigators.
I personally urge the public to go back and read what we have said about this man as well as what law enforcement has said about this man.
We again believe that those out there that suggest anything other are one of three things : 1) attempting create attention to themselves, 2) attempting to create cover for the named suspects in this case, or 3) simply just sick people.”
“This case remains VERY active. We understand our silence has upset some – but we are moving towards a prosecution phase and search phase to the case. We will announce what we need to announce as the month goes on.
We want to remind the public NOT to go into the area until law enforcement releases it. At this time it is NOT released to the general public. Again – and to repeat – Mr. Reinwand has been cooperative, he has worked with investigators and continues to this day. Thank you for caring about this case. Again – it is progressing.”
