We’re still pushing out flyers and trying to blanket this end of the county. That’s the most frustrating part is trying to filter through what’s legitimate information and what’s just rumor. “A lot of children from the high school have tried to be helpful but lot of that ended up just being rumors that they had heard from one kid or the other that ended up being completely false. “We’ve had several where some have been legitimate, some not,” Jenkins said. Jenkins said LPD is following every lead the department can. “We had all exhausted all of the resources of the city at that point and we felt like that the scope of the search probably needed to get bigger probably than the city of Loudon at that point, obviously, and the TBI being a larger agency would have more resources and a larger reach to go out and help search for him,” Webb said.
15, LPD Detective Brian Jenkins said the department has taken a team approach, getting area agencies more involved and seeking help from Tennessee Bureau of Investigation. “We made no contact with Tegan Daugherty or the bicycle or any other article that might belong to him or turn up any other piece of evidence,” he added. but we did have over a dozen people walking and doing the best we could with the amount of people we had to search the area. We had over a dozen people actually physically walk the area where the backpack was found and searched the area and did, I wouldn’t say specifically a grid search. “Anybody that gives us any kind of lead whatsoever we search theirs. “Also on that day, Loudon Fire Department and one of my off-duty police officers, they put their boats in the Tennessee River and went up and down the river searching the banks for his bicycle thinking that there was a possibility that somehow he might have got to the river and accidentally got in the river somehow, so we searched the banks of the river for his bicycle,” Webb said. LPD sought help from Blount County Sheriff’s Office to conduct a drone search. 12 after locating the teenager’s backpack behind Loudon High School, Webb said. Loudon Police Department started a three-day search Oct. It’s hard to believe that he’s still in the local area.” But whenever you get to a point where we’re at now, I would consider him not just a runaway, but also missing because we don’t have any information to his whereabouts or don’t have any idea where he is. “I mean he did run away from home at 9 o’clock on Sunday the 10th, and the parents reported that he had run away. “According to the information that we have been able to determine, it is a runaway case,” James “Bear” Webb, Loudon police chief, said.
