Erica, a 100-pound, 5’5” 13-year old with blonde hair, wore a dark blue floral tank top and jean shorts, police said. Witnesses told authorities they last saw her at a campground in the national historical park.
Investigators say Keith has a health condition that requires medication. They believe the brown-haired, 160-pound, 5’11” teenager last sported a greyish blue t-shirt and black and grey shorts.
Cumberland Gap is a break in the Appalachian Mountains right at the Tennessee-Kentucky-Virginia border, called the Tri-State Peak.
