pomonaperson | 01-10-2018 05:55 PM | Hi everyone,
Sorry for the late response, but I figure that some of you would want an update! (ty for reminding me on reddit! you know who you are!)
When I showed that profile to my mom that morning, I was sure that she was going to recognise him right away... but to my surprise she said (in Mandarin) "hmmmm.... that looks like a stranger to me. but then again, he could have changed from the last time I saw him." I wasn't sure what to make of this, so I tried to reach out to this Kevin. Unfortunately I don't have a Tumblr, and his Twitter was private so I tweeted him but he never responded.
Now that I was actually making progress in this case, my mom decided to go through some old phone books / photo books to see if she could find some more clues to solve the case. She happened to come across an old phone number listed in one of her books as one of Leslie's relatives and called it. To her surprise, Kevin's uncle picked up! From there, he was able to give us a status update on the family and even sent us a picture of what Kevin looks like now!
As it turns out, this Kevin (the one that was found here) is a completely different person from the other Kevin! I don't know how many Kevin Chis there are out there who fit my description, but apparently more than one exists. I was absolutely positive that the Kevin here was the right guy... sorry to get all your hopes up.
However despite all this, I'd really like to thank all of you here at Revscene for helping me out and giving me hope this last week. I'm struck by how kind all of you were, and how many suggestions and well wishes that came in trying to help me with this search. I'd like to give a special shout out to JesseBlue for their amazing detective skills, and to those people who messaged me on Reddit telling me about Revscene. (Speaking of which, someone commented on my Reddit post telling me to check RS at 3am in the morning but when I went to check their comment never showed up. you might be shadow banned...)
If I'm ever in the Vancouver area (which will probably be soon since I'm going to see Kevin eventually!) I'd like to treat some of y'all to a cup of coffee (or whatever you guys like to drink up there)! Even though it ended up not being the right guy, I'm sincerely grateful for everything y'all have done here.
Thank you so much! |
