A post earlier this afternoon on the ‘Please help find Kyle Coleman’ page offered thanks to family and friends of Kyle as the search continued, but also reported the 17-year-old did not return to Mount Isa from a camping trip.

Kyle was last seen on the morning of February 22 in Mount Isa and remains a missing person.

It was never definitively confirmed whether Kyle made it back from a camping trip with his mate near Camooweal prior to his disappearance. But a post on the Facebook site that helps keep the search alive, suggests he did not return to Mount Isa from the camping trip.

“We can however let you all know that in light of some evidence uncovered during the investigation it has become clear that our boy and his belongings did not return to Mount Isa from where he and his “mate” were camping,” the Facebook post stated. “We can also say that this was not a choice Kyle made but one that was made for him.”

“As more information is released we will keep you all updated, please be patient with us as we need to make sure everything is done in the right way. We continue to search the area for Kyle.”

The post urged people to share the information revealed on the Facebook page to help keep the “search for Kyle moving”.

“We won’t stop until he is brought home to his family and given the respect this wonderful boy deserves,” the post stated.

Initial searches of Mount Isa, surrounding areas of Mount Isa and Undilla Station, outside of Camooweal, went on for nine days but there was no trace of Kyle.

The investigation into Kyle’s disappearance took a shocking twist just days after he went missing when his 21-year-old friend, who Kyle was camping with outside of Camooweal, was found dead inside his Skewes Street home.
