Kenny Veach posted a comment on Youtube claiming to have found a mysterious cave in Nevada.
Soon other comments were demanding evidence.
This put pressure on Kenny to provide proof on video, pressure which would ultimately
lead to his death.
On June 30, 2014, Kenny Veach saw a YouTube video featuring Paul H. Utz, the son of an
Area 51 Technician.
Paul said his father tested a new organic energy source in the Nevada desert.
The organic matrix was suspected to be alive and intelligent.
Veteran hiker Kenny Veach considered that desert his home turf.
Kenny left a comment saying, "That ain't nothin'."
During his hike out by Nellis Air Force Base he found a hidden cave.
Its entrance was shaped like a perfect capital letter M. As he approached it his whole body
began to vibrate.
The closer he got to the entrance the stronger the vibration became.
His only weapon was a knife.
He got scared and ran away.
He was 46 years old and ruggedly handsome, but Kenny was unprepared for the backlash
of YouTube commentary.
He was accused of being a liar.
The internet trolls followed him to his own channel.
They called him unpleasant names.
That's when he decided to give them the only proof respected on YouTube, video of the mystery
cave.
This time he brought his 9mm Luger pistol and a video camera.
He returned to the canyon where he once found the cave.
He saw plenty of wildlife but Kenny failed to re-locate the cave.
Then he uploaded a video record of his ten hour hike.
The reaction was the exact opposite of what he hoped.
In the YouTube court of public opinion, instead of being appreciated for his effort he was
even more hatefully criticized for his failure.
One person suggested he should kill himself.
Instead he laid plans for his next attempt.
The last comment ever posted by Kenny Veach was to announce his impending return to the
canyon.
He invited people to join him.
Nobody did.
He has been missing since November 10, 2014.
Volunteers searched for him in the Sheep Mountains, where his cell phone was found sitting on
a rock, near a deep vertical mine shaft.
There was no trace of him inside the mine, and he left no trail leading away from the
site.
Kenny Veach was a hard-core hiker.
He refused to carry a GPS tracker or even a simple compass.
To test his endurance, he would bring less food and water than he would need.
The wilderness would often lead him on such long hikes that his toenails would turn black
and fall off.
Now that he is presumed dead, some call him a "high-risk hiker" who ran out of luck.
To others his long experience means he could only be the victim of foul play.
Perhaps he crossed paths with armed smugglers.
Kenny also had financial problems.
He uploaded a video trying sell his inventions, and another one trying to sell his house.
One theory holds that he left his phone behind intentionally, walking out of the desert to
assume a new identity.
But according to his family he would never abandon his adult daughter.
His girlfriend said that although Kenny was full of life and seemed optimistic, he actually
suffered from depression, for which he refused to take medication.
His father committed suicide when Kenny was 20 years old, and he told his girlfriend,
if he ever committed suicide himself, no one would ever find his body.
That leaves only one possibility.
Kenny found the mystery cave.
He bravely entered its dark interior.
And then the presence which had initially warned him away, made itself known to Kenny
Veach, ensuring that Kenny would never leave that cave alive.
Men, nothing takes it off like Noxema Medicated Shave.
Take it off.
Take it ALL off.
