ROTHBURY, Mich. (WOOD) — Volunteers continue to search for an Oakland County man who was last seen on July 1 at the Electric Forest Music Festival.
On Monday, a group of about 15 people started a new search for Kevin Graves around 9:30 a.m. Monday at the festival grounds.
The only thing they found was a cell phone, which they don’t believe belongs to Graves. The latest search effort is headed by a volunteer search and rescue group out of Shiawassee County that is made up of retired law enforcement from the area.
Three search teams dispersed in a search grid tactic on Monday.
Kevin Grave’s father, Gary Graves, says people have been taking time off work to help look on the property that is more than 2,000 acres and includes a couple ponds.
"I'm still thinking positive, I'll never think negative," said Graves. "Not until I get proof. I just want to find him and then I can put my mind at peace."
The family says Electric Forest organizers have not aided the search and law enforcement hasn't found any sign of him.
"We aren't giving up on this," said Graves.
There is still a $10,000 reward for information that helps find Kevin Graves. The search will continue Saturday.
