Investigators received information that Blevins was last seen July 29 leaving the Travelers Inn in Selma after visiting another cousin. He was said to be traveling on foot to visit friends in the Merrimac area. Witnesses claimed to have seen him there, but later sightings relayed to his father were not verified.1
