What happened to Dermot F. Kelly?

The 16-year-old Oglesby boy hasn't been seen since Sunday, Jan. 30, 1972.

At 1:15 p.m. that bitterly cold day, Dermot left his home on Point Lookout, a wooded neighborhood near the south bank of the Vermilion River. The boy was clad in a black-and-white jacket and blue-jeans. An Accutron watch was strapped to his wrist and a .22-caliber rifle was in his hands, as he told his parents he was going to go target shooting. Dermot headed east along the river.

After Dermot had not returned by 3 p.m., his parents called police. They said they were worried because Dermot was an introspective boy who had been despondent. They feared for his welfare. By 5 p.m. teams were organized and scouring the woods. Among the searchers were police and civil defense volunteers from Ottawa, Streator and Marseilles, as well as river rescue units from Peru and Ottawa, and students from La Salle-Peru High School and Illinois Valley Community College.

Overnight the mercury dropped to three below.

At 2 p.m. Monday, Dermot's jacket and boots were found on an icy bank of the Vermilion where that river fed into the Illinois River. A set of bare foot prints in the snow led from the bank 20 feet out onto the partially frozen river. There were no return prints. An impression of a rifle was also present in the snow.

Within the next few days, snowmobiles, motorcycles and two aircraft were used in the search, which took in Starved Rock State Park and the nearby Lehigh Cement quarry. Deputy Sheriff Gus Freschi roamed with his tracking dog, but did not pick up a scent.

However, with the evidence at the river's edge, divers were also brought in. On Wednesday, a rifle believed to have been Dermot's was found just below the ice in the river. His gun had been mounted with a telescopic sight and this rifle did not have one, but it was presumed the scope had detached in the water.

By the end of the week, a barge passed on the Illinois River, disturbing the ice and complicating the search. This and the continuing frigid temperatures prompted searchers to call off their efforts. Dermot was never found.

Dermot was a junior at the then all boys St. Bede Academy between Peru and Spring Valley. He was in class the Friday before, but had missed several weeks in the fall, while he was receiving medical treatment in the Chicago area, the school's head said at the time.

"He was just too smart to be in school," one of Dermot's classmates told the La Salle News-Tribune, adding Dermot regularly did his homework for him.

Dermot's parents were Asta and Kevin Kelly. Kevin was a lawyer. Dermot had three sisters and one brother. Two of his sisters have become physicians. The nearest one lives in suburban Chicago. None of them could be reached by The Times for this story.

In October 1973, the wife of the Kelly family doctor reported she believed she had seen Dermot in Chicago, but had not been able to approach and confirm it was him. The family reached out to Chicago Tribune columnist Robert Weidrich, who penned a story Dec. 15, 1974, that the family believed Dermot was still alive and had run away to start a new life, free of the problems in society that so vexed him.

The family also distributed missing person posters, on which they wrote Dermot "wanted to make a life of his own and do it on his own."

The Center for Missing and Exploited Children was established in 1984. On Feb. 9, 1985, Kevin Kelly contacted the Center with information about his son. The Agency continues to list Dermot as missing. In fact, it is one of the Agency's oldest cases.

Melinda Stevens, Director of the Center's Missing Children Division, said there have been leads over the years that Dermot is dead, including a report a body was found, but which could not be identified.

"We keep hope here," Stevens pointed out.

Stevens said her agency did not know Dermot's jacket, boots and rifle were found soon after he disappeared, until informed by The Times.

In 1992, Dermot's father went to court and had him declared legally dead. "I have searched for him in many states of the United States of America for the past 20 years," his father told the judge in explaining his vain attempt to find Dermot.

Oglesby Police Chief Jim Knoblauch said his department still treats the Dermot Kelly case as an open missing person investigation, but "no leads have developed in years."

Did Dermot die in the river and was swept away?

Randy Phelps is the former captain of the Ottawa River Rescue unit and is its current medical officer.

"We almost always find them, one way or another," Phelps said. "The frozen river would have made it harder, but eventually he should have turned up."

Dermot's father died in 2003. In his obituary, Dermot was not mentioned. Dermot's mother died in 2011; her obituary listed him as one of her survivors.

UNIDENTIFIED VICTIM LOCATED IN NEW YORK

Unidentified Remains
Date Located: October 29, 1983
City Found: Medina, New York
County Found: Orleans County
Estimated Date of Death: 1980-1981

Cause of Death: Not Disclosed.

The partially mummified, partially skeletonized remains of this woman were found off of South Gravel Road (Route 63) in the town of Shelby (part of Medina, NY) on October 29, 1983 near the Gennessee County line.

The spot that her remains were recovered is part of the Iroquois National Wildlife Refuge, a 4,000 acre wetland that is offten refered to as the "Alabama Swamps" by locals. During the spring months, much of the area is submerged in water due to the spring thaw; during the fall months, the area is popular with local hunters. It also features several trails, elevated trails for the wet months and overlooks that were popular spots for both nature lovers and local youth.

The area is somewhat isolated. Route 63 serves as a main route to get to the Lake Ontario shore from the New York State Thruway. It is also frequently used as a truck route by tractor trailers. At night though, the road can become very deserted and there are no homes or buildings located on the road for several miles in either direction. Also of note, passing motorists would not consider it out of the ordinary to see a car pulled off the side of the road because hunters, hikers, fishermen/woman would frequently park on the road shoulder to enter the wildlife refuge.

There is however the Iroquois Job Corps., a residential career training and education facility for young people between the ages of 16 and 24 located about 2 miles away.

Friday July 19 will be 7 years since my niece Melanie Metheny was last seen or heard from. Melanie was a mother of 3 young children who were her whole world when she disappeared. We once found an article she wrote for a class that she was taking about how much her children meant to her when we were going through her belongings. Melanie was a mother first and foremost she was also a daughter a sister a niece a granddaughter a cousin and also a friend. These last 7 years that she has been missing have been some of the hardest years her family has had to endure EVER. The not knowing the unanswered questions the horror stories and the large hole that this has left in all of our lives and hearts is absolutely painful beyond words.
When a loved one goes missing the family that is here searching hoping praying it feels like you are on a roller coaster ride from hell that is never ending. We still do not know what happened to Melanie that dreadful day 7 years ago after endless hours of searching hoping looking fighting crying and praying but we will never ever stop until we have answers. we will continue to try to find answers until we have no breath left in our bodies. Melanie you are missed and loved so much. There wil forever be a large hole in our family that can never be replaced

SALT LAKE CITY — Police asked the public for help Thursday in locating a missing disabled teenager.
According to a press release, officers are searching for 16-year-old Mharina Acciaio. They said the teen was dropped off at City Creek Center at 11 a.m. Tuesday, and hasn’t returned home since.
Police say a worker with the Utah Division of Child and Family Services dropped Mharina off at the shopping center to go to the Apple store.
“She’s got her iPod and goes to the Apple store to figure out what’s wrong with it and they help her,” Thomas Acciaio said.
Police said Acciaio has several health conditions, and requires medication. Without her medication, she is prone to impulsive and risky behavior.
“She’s low-functioning when she’s not on her meds. If she’s on her meds, she’s a normal 16-year-old,” said Thomas Acciaio, Mharina.
Acciaio is described as 5 feet 2 inches tall, with brown hair and brown eyes. She was last seen wearing a black tank top, black sweat pants and pink flip-flops.
Officers said Acciaio is known to spend time in downtown Salt Lake City malls and libraries. If you have any information on the teen, call Salt Lake City police at (801) 799-3000.
