CHAFFEE COUNTY, Colo. (KRDO) – After more than seven days of searching by the Chaffee County Sheriff’s Office and hundreds of volunteers, the search for Kaden Sites is over.
On Saturday, Chaffee County Sheriff Andy Rohrich announced Sites was found dead 1.5 miles from where his vehicle was abandoned near Tabaguache Creek.
“Our hearts go out to the Sites family and friends this evening. Chaffee County has lost a wonderful member of our community which has left a void in our hearts. There was always a measure of hope that Kaden would be found alive. We are thankful the family will have some level of closure. Thank you to everyone who joined in the efforts to bring Kaden home. It is such a loving community we have.”
