Facts of the Case
Kenneth "Kenny" Veach was a Las Vegas resident, experienced desert hiker, and YouTuber who posted videos under the username snakebitmgee.
He frequently explored remote areas of Nevada, including mountains, caves, and abandoned mining sites
The "M Cave" Story
In 2014, Veach commented on a YouTube video that he had discovered a cave near the Nellis Air Force Base area whose entrance resembled a capital M.
He claimed that when he approached the cave, his body began vibrating and that he became frightened and left without entering.
Other users challenged him to go back and document the cave.
Second Search
In October 2014, Veach returned to the area and filmed a hike attempting to relocate the cave. He uploaded the video titled "M Cave Hike."
He was unable to find the cave during that trip.
Disappearance
On November 10, 2014, Veach left for another solo trip to search for the cave.
He told his girlfriend/ex-girlfriend he was going on a short camping or hiking excursion but did not provide an exact destination.
This is the last confirmed time anyone heard from him.
Search Efforts
His vehicle, a white Honda CR?V, was found parked at a trailhead north of Las Vegas near the Sheep Range area.
Search-and-rescue teams conducted extensive searches of the rugged terrain.
Veach's cellphone was eventually found near an abandoned mine shaft several hours' hike from where his vehicle was parked.
No confirmed trace of Veach himself has ever been found.

Originally opening in 1966 as a three-room library within the Airport Annex building, the Clark County Library moved in 1967 to a storefront. In 1971, the library moved again to its current location using deeded land from the County and with money awarded by the Max C. Fleishman Foundation. The building went on to have two remodels: one completed in 1986, and the second completed in 1994, which resulted in the three-story, 120,000-square-foot building it is today. This redesign notably included a 399-seat theater and an 80-seat black box theater/dance studio. The Library District also added the Best Buy Teen Tech Center, which provides a place for teens to explore and master new technologies and digital skills.
