He was hired by a trash company that took trash out for the city. And he was paid about $190 a week. And while at this job, Kenneth made a friend.

The witnesses said that the passenger was a dark skinned, possibly Hispanic male. Now investigators were more sure than ever that Kenneth was responsible for Colleen's disappearance.

After speaking to some of Kenneth's friends, they learned that he had been hanging out with a man named Hank Worley. So from here, detectives went to pay Hank a visit. They ended up finding him at a hotel where he had been living with his 14 year old daughter. And at first, Hank denied ever knowing Kenneth McDuff, but the investigators were not going to let this go.
