Kevin

Kevin (full name: Kevin Banks) is one of Charlie's best friends. His disappearance was the main catalyst for the events in the film "Down the Road".

Lifestyle
Not much is known of Kevin, but it is assumed that (out of his friends) he was the most interested in the unnamed woods. In the beginning of the film, he rides his bike up to the entrance and tosses a newspaper out into the fog, as if testing the rumors. Danny also mentions that Kevin frequently visited the Urban Myths and Legends website.

Other than that, Kevin is a paperboy for the small town of Clearwood.

The Disappearance
Kevin disappeared into the woods of Clearwood on June 23. A search took place for approximately 30 days, coordinated by Detective Marc, several police officers, and a few volunteers. During the search he was never found. Instead, all they found were "bike tracks leading into the woods that stopped about twenty feet into the fog". (excerpt from UMAL's audio recording, and Clearwood's local newspaper)

It is also mentioned that it rained every single day of the search. However, once everyone eventually gave up and left the scene, the rain finally stopped.

After the search ended, Charlie began his own quest to find Kevin (or whatever happened to him).

After The Disappearance
After Charlie's determination, Kevin was found on July 30. Kevin had no recollection of what happened during his disappearance. He had been in the woods, or vanished off the face of the Earth, for a little more than a month. No one truly knows what happened, but Charlie has his suspicions.
