Searching For Kenny Veach : New Discoveries

This is part one of my second day's hike into the desert mountains near Las Vegas Nevada in my continuing search for the missing KZbinr Kenny Veech. As I climb into the hills in a new location I begin to find evidence of man-made activity in the hills that is very strange. One thing, in particular, that was very odd is a stone "pillbox" like structure overlooking the approaches to the area. I also discover some large scat with large chunks of animal bone in it and that begins to change my thoughts on how I should conduct any future searches. I suspect there could be mountain lions roaming the hills for sure now. I also found a badger skull not too far away (in a different video) and they too would be capable of devouring and/or scattering human remains. I also found evidence of two separate mountain sheep deaths (part two of this hike) and one had a severely fractured leg bone which could also be a sign of how and why Kenny never came back out of the hills so many years ago. Part two of this day's search will follow soon.

About Aquachigger:
I enjoy metal detecting for historical items like gold coins, relics, silver coins, and other buried treasures. I also metal detect for gold and silver nuggets and even meteorites. I like to make videos that promote my choice of lifestyle that includes outdoor adventure,
metal detecting, yapping, searching for river treasure, SCUBA diving, exploring abandoned places, hiking, caving, caring for animals and pets, and observing the things outdoors that often go unnoticed by most people who are not familiar with outdoor adventures and nature. I keep my KZbin "Aquachigger" channel family-friendly and hope you subscribe if you like my style.
BTW, you can also catch me here, / chiggsarmy ,but I may get a little edgier there. FB isn't a place for kids anyway...lol.

You're finally in my area. That's so awesome. Lots of people have disappeared out here in Nevada. Be careful around the Pumpernickel exit off of I-80. If that's Rye Patch, the interstate is 80. I believe I've heard 7 people have disappeared by that exit. At least 3 or 4 vehicles found abandoned at that exit and the others were found not far off the exit. I'm a truck driver and I go everywhere, but driving through that area makes me feel creeped out. Day or night. If you are still in the area, I'd be happy to share some other stories. Don't expect the police to come and help you. They left a woman out there who was stuck and she called like 4x asking for help. They found her body several months later.

@@marcalan1198 yes absolutely!

[@holycow4889]

Suicide makes no sense. Why would he make a video about the cave, talking about entering the cave. Than go missing a day later. I think he is either under witness protection or dead. 1 possible explanation to his disappearance could be the alcohol he had on him. In his video, where he visited the cave, he said he brought some beer with him, instead of water. Since that location is pretty rocky and full with pits, holes. He could have suffered an injury while maybe under the influence of alcohol or something. But I'm just speculating. It was also interesting how the military was watching Aquachiggers's every move with drone(s), i have no clue if they watch the whole area or just that cave area but kinda strange too.

[@thomasrobertson9835]

I could be wrong but the pvc type pipe could've been penstock and the "sniper pit" could've been a collection reservoir for water. Tiles could be one attempt at trying to seal. My guess is someone was putting forth a valiant effort to build a hydro electric setup without having any solid plans to make sure it happened, they gave it a go and put forth enough effort to decide it wasn't possible or viable for whatever reason. Or more realistically a slightly less interesting version would be a simple water distribution network to start someone's "garden". But if the water was there to collect, it is feasible to generate the typical 1.5kw/hr continuous with the topo variation there, all from one small 12000 rpm turbine fed from that tiny penstock say 30 meters long where it's vertical in places! Water gets heavy and gravity stacks up fast! You'd have to be awfully happy about the potential prospects or desperate to attempt it at that location..

Let me propose a theory of mine. I served in the Army and worked with active camouflage, what if Kenny's cave is exactly where he recalled it being but the enterence was covered by active camouflage. He would walk right past it and on video you wouldn't notice anything you can state right at it and not realize it. I'm guessing his cave has either been filled in or was covered by active camouflage.

Hey Chig, Lines on the screen (6:19) are caused by camera shutter speed synchronising with the screen refresh rate. Shutter speed changes depending on the light that's why they are there sometimes.

Wow… i have thoroughly enjoyed watching all of these videos. I’ve never gone hiking off like that before but it is very fascinating and i hope to get the chance to experience one day but until then, i will continue to take the journey with you. I just came across your channel today :)

[@susanhollis5336]

I just found your videos today and am loving watching them. The scenery is absolutely gorgeous. Due to having MS, Im now unable to hike anymore so I'm an throughly enjoying yours. Thank you for sharing them.

[@monkeywentbananas]

I love that You are looking for Kenny Veach! That looks like some extreme terrain!

[@rastamanralph6670]

I've just watched the video with you and Jeff. My two favourite you tubers in one show. Loved it. I think you need to get back for another video.👍💚💛❤👊

[@aquachigger]

For sure. That was a great time. Good guy.

[@marianleblanc130]

God bless you for still looking. You blogs are very interesting. Thank you 😘🇨🇦

[@Dybicus]

Did anyone actually think to check that (path) camera footage when they first looked for Kenny? You'd think so, but you wouldn't believe how often very obvious things tend to be overlooked during investigations. It happens a lot. That drone at 07:07 would creep me out the whole frigging time. If they didn't have something to hide, there's no reason for that sh*t to be constantly up there.

[@grassblock7668]

The US governament CERTANLY has maaaany things to hide, but I don't think they're tryina hide Kenny's body, to be mega optimistic Kenny himself, or how he died: there are many scenerios on how he went missing; 1. He somehow died in the M cave(suffucation,some rocks fell on him,got lost in the cave and starved,some animals killed him etc); 2. Some aliens abducted him(less likely lol); 3. The Feds abducted him and either calcelled his memory and sent him off or he's still with them. The most possible one is obviusly the first one, but hey you never know. Either way, I don't think the governament is hiding Kenny, but what is in the whole area Kenny was hiking in, it is basically next door to freaking Area 51, Nellis base, and other military bases. So that area must be kept under strict control to avoid sum crazy idiot tryina break in, or if you believe in it, to avoid aliens escaping, and the most realistic one is, they wanna make sure no Russian James Bond gets nearby. In conclusion, unless Kenny's dissapearence has to do with them, the governament doesn't give a blaten crap and they're just keeping an eye on a military restricted area. Edit: turns out the dude was suffering from depression for a couple of years, so now we got a 4th case scenario where he used the opportunity to commit suicide, but we'll never be able to know until him or his body is found. However the suicide theory sorta falls apart if we think about that one KZbin comment that warned him to not go into the cave, cuz he was not coming back. We also have the gut feeling of extreme anxiety and uneasyness he declered on video. This case deserves way more popularity and actual detectives looking for him... but if it does have to do with the governament, then all we can do is watch people like Chigg look for him or even go ourselves(i'm literally at the other side of the world but you get what i mean)and even then, who tries to search for him needs to be careful.

[@klk1900]

It’s to save money on hiring personnel. Or it could be a test in the range. The base is not anywhere near as impressive as the idiots think. It’s a typical air force base n

[@mirahgirl01]

For all we know that was Kenny who posted that comment about not coming out on another account he made

[@toxicraven777]

I think he ran away like someone picked him up because I think the feds would have found him or the cave especially just thinking about the amount of other people like him looking for him or the cave so I think he possibly filmed it somewhere else and is on the run but that’s just a theory I also think they would have seen the M cave by then with the amount of high tech government drones flying around the area so I think the feds definitely do have something to do with it because there is slim to no chance with an fbi team search set out multiple hikers looking for the cave/him high tech government drones flying about all the time to me that dosent add up.

[@scenicroadwaysyt]

Love these videos! Your excellent narration coupled with the amazing scenery and a dose of creepy suspense is perfect. I could watch these every night.

[@dianeburnejko2908]

So interesting exploring this beautiful desert with you. Hope you find Kenny. 👍

[@user-sg9rn5ml8r]

this is a truly mysterious story, and you have highlighted your channel to this, I think you are a great fellow, and I will calm down when Kenny's remains are found...

[@seanknapp74]

Stone structure was probably a wildlife observation blind. If you are on a wildlife area you will occasionally find them on sheep/ wildlife trails and near springs. Would also explain the trapping gear and that other pipe structure with the shade cloth down lower. Use to do wildlife work on a couple refuges in Az and we had a few of them back there.

[@simonbaverstock4454]

Beautiful scenery Beau, thanks for sharing it.

[@abstractgamer8543]

I would love to go see it with my own eyes. Stay safe and hope for the best. Edit- at 11:44 bottom left corner the stone looks like 40 is carved into the stone.

[@Mizzyhd]

Ye 40 and thats his age 7 years ago when he died.

[@jemappelleaaus]

I only see the 4, the 0 seems like a hole and not something that is carved.

[@Mizzyhd]

@@jemappelleaaus yep thats it

[@Mizzyhd]

@@jemappelleaaus it used to be curved în to 0

[@douglasfields3945]

If you keep watch thru to around 11:55, when he walks past it, it in the background. It looks like multiple cracks that come together that give the illusion of being a 4.

[@GregTheReaper]

14:20 My guess is that this would be some kind of observation post or ranger's hut made when it first became a wildlife area. Particularly given the window overlooks the whole area and the small space it obviously wasn't meant to be used for extended periods as you said. As for the trap, maybe it was an illegal one that was found and removed by whoever was there last? Just guessing here.

[@chuckbodnar5756]

Thank you for this exciting video. I have done exploring out in the Mojave Desert with my wife. Pretty exciting area. Once I was out at Amboy Creater in Calif. From that point my buddy and I watched a huge army mane complete with tanks, mortars and medium size heavy guns, Really pretty cool. A camp out to remember

[@johngaltman]

The drones you're hearing are from the training base at Creech AFB, I know about it because I trained there in the mid-2000's. They are not watching over the area... Also we were not allowed to look over at the Area 51 base.

[@jerebigler7520]

The little stone building may have been built by someone using mules to pack in the supplies and materials. I'm really enjoying this series and can't hardly wait for the next one to come out. Thanks for taking us along.

[@rnash999]

The question is why.

[@jerebigler7520]

@@rnash999 May have been a halfway point to where ever they were headed. Good way to hide a fire. Put it up the hill behind a wall for better concealment. In otherwords, I have no idea!

[@7thangelad586]

Drones, a trail camera, and a sniper’s nest. You’re being watched, sir; be very careful.

[@johntyson]

He hiked to where he knew he wouldn’t be found. Need to be looking where nobody would go because they wouldn’t want to try to climb back down because he didn’t have any intention of climbing down from where he is.

[@andymuskopf8473]

He's not exactly looking in downtown Chicago.

[@johntyson]

@Delta Leviatho I was just thinking the same thing.

[@kathylarson8876]

Why would he commit suicide

[@johntyson]

@@kathylarson8876 His reasons are his own, but he was suicidal. And the consensus among his loved ones is that he did. The evidence points to that conclusion anyhow.

[@JenialB]

You know those things called "Walking sticks" elders would use? They used them to shake brush in front of them as well in case of snakes & to knock fruit off of high branches. Lol

[@greeny37]

Hey I’m wondering if you noticed that weird rock structure when you got to the top peak when the drone came close, It looks like it was a closed up m cave entrance did the they make you leave?

[@saltypatriot4181]

Your discoveries on your hikes are pretty anomalous. Underrated

[@littlepookie7976]

most interesting hiking exploration I have ever seen! I can see now how someone gets lost, injured or taken

[@Shanegar00]

Man Chig I would love to do this with you the next time you do this here! I live at the base of the mountains there where you are. I live about 3 to 4 miles from where Kenny went missing. First the base you see to the north where the drones are coming from is Called Creech Airforce Base. The Road to the West of you is I95. Love the VIDS!

[@jamessilveira158]

Maybe US95 not I95 , that's on the east coast

[@jjaycadaynay]

Just stumbled upon a fascinating 411 case where someone fell into an abandoned mine shaft that had overgrown grass growing all over it, they didn’t discover the missing person was inside it until a hiker almost perished the same fate. Ironically and I say this with respect, there was an abandoned mine shaft that Kenny was frequent with. No I don’t think he could be in that one in particular, but I do think in my honest opinion that he’s inside one that’s been hidden since it’s abandonment probably since the early 1900s.

[@aquachigger]

Could be, but it doesn't explain why he left his phone and gear at the one shaft.

[@Nikola-fi7gm]

​@@aquachiggerif he did kill himself as his girlfriend said he probably didn't want them to find him via his gsp or he wanted to leave a trace of himself

[@Batz5150]

The "disturbance" zone could possibly be a change in mineralization in the soil. Could be a solid place to prospect!

[@Batz5150]

I should have watched more of the video before commenting. Your most likely more right. With all the evidence you presented.

[@lawyerlarrry]

I love the chigg out west vids!!! Those from the Native American stone shelters are incredible.

[@jeffs4483]

M cave is probably an escape hatch or air shaft from underground tunnels connecting the bases between Nellis and Vegas. Kenny was probably taken out by the government for having discovered it and most likely the Mcave was later sealed up and covered. That's my theory.

[@Nathangies]

Ya I agree I think the government is involved. I think he might still be alive

[@Dr_Salt]

No its not

[@World36599]

Reptilians

[@rogerscurlock2927]

Honestly, killing people to keep a secret like that makes no sense. When you kill someone it draws attention. If you alter/hide what they discovered and call them crazy, problem solved. Virtually no one believes the crazy guy and any attention he draws has a negative connotation casting doubt on anything else said about the subject. In some cases, alterations/hiding things wasnt even necessary. Some ufos have been identified decades later as top secret aircraft test. The government didn't kill those people, they let them talk openly, to all the people they wanted. So, I don't think your theory is plausible.

[@charlesking617]

The concreted stones with a window is likely a very old blind for hunting mountain goats pre-WWII.

[@marigoldkraken5218]

That was super interesting. I came for the search of Kenny part, but just hearing you describe what you saw and giving insights about the vegetation and animal life was far more interesting! It makes me miss the desert (although I've only been once)!

[@steveculbert4039]

It's fascinating to someone who has spent a lot of time in the wilderness (me) that one sees so few people there though we live among millions of people.

​@@Fragrantbeard well bc it's a true missing 411 everything you can rationally think can be debunked by the fact that still all these years later no body or anything els of his was found if the gvt got him they'd have his body right why not cover it up as a suicide they do that all the time if he really committed suicide where's his body if animals got him where's the rest of his belongings like his gun for example or the clear sign of getting eaten alive by something it's not like a big cat gonna take your gun and clothes and keep it that's what makes it interesting it's

[@died4us590]

The video of this fella on his channel, has his girlfriend answering questions from 5 year's ago. The girlfriend said she thought he committed suicide, and that his dad committed suicide. I guess he had been depressed for a year out of work, and was gonna lose his house that he loved, and put a lot of work into. I think he checked out from watching a couple of his video's, and what the girlfriend said. God bless, hope his is found, just to give the family peace.
