Ken DeLand Jr disappeared a little more than two weeks ago, launching an international missing persons search as his family feared the worst. The college student’s father, Ken DeLand Sr, was providing an interview to CNN on Friday when he suddenly hung up the phone. Mr DeLand Jr’s family began searching for him after learning from a school official that he had gone missing on 27 November. Mr DeLand Jr’s classmates told police that he had been “depressed” and “in a fragile mood” as the end of his study abroad period approached.
