The family of a missing Opelousas man is continuing to ask for the public's help finding more information about their loved one's disappearance.
Law enforcement in St. Landry Parish say that 35-year-old Wilfred Kennerson III traveled to Dallas and Los Angeles on October 1, 2021 then returned on October 4th to Bastorp, Louisiana. Kennerson was last spoken to by phone on October 4, 2021 at approximately 10:35 pm and by text at 11:45 pm.

Kennerson's loved ones say they will be holding a private vigil in his memory this week with family and friends. The family says they have also created a $10,000 reward for information on his disappearance.

On October 13, police said they did not suspect foul play in Kennerson's disappearance. They also told us they are using all of their resources to find him.
