14 questions you wanted us to ask the DeOrr Kunz private investigator

Philip Klein, a private investigator based in Texas, has been working with the family of DeOrr Kunz and conducting his own investigation in the disappearance of the three-year-old Idaho Falls boy.

Earlier this week, in an in-depth interview with EastIdahoNews.com, Klein revealed some major new developments in the case. He believes the child was either accidentally or purposely killed and that at least one person will be prosecuted in the case.

Klein agreed to answer further questions from EastIdahoNews.com viewers. Dozens were submitted on our Facebook page and we selected 14 to present to Klein.

Here are the questions and answers. Click on the video above to watch the entire conversation.

Nate Eaton, EastIdahoNews.com reporter: Mr. Klein, thank you very much for joining us and answering some of these Facebook questions. We’re going to start with Kammie. She asks, “Are there things that happened prior to the camping trip that come into play in this investigation?”

Philip Klein, Klein Investigations & Consulting: Well, you know, that goes into the timeline of this event but I will be willing to publicly say everything is in play at this point. This is now, as far as our team is concerned, a death investigation and so we’ll be developing everything before, during and after the actual event of the 911 call at 2:26 in the evening.

Eaton: What you just said may lead into our next question. Michelle asks, “The parents have stated that, despite the investigators statements, they believe their son is still alive. Is there a chance, even a small one, that he might still be alive?”

Klein: As far as our team is concerned and the nine investigators in the room – no, we do not believe he is alive.

Eaton: Mariah asks, “How do we know, without a doubt, that he wasn’t picked up by a wolf and carried back to its den?”

Klein: In that portion of the investigation there were certain, let’s say, pieces of clothing that would have been either left behind or would have been in another area if that had happened. There was no physical evidence found at the scene. We were able, through interviews of the rescuers, through interviews of folks that live up there – the ranchers, the people that actually go run cattle out there, and also the statements of the police officers – there is just no evidence to indicate that at all whatsoever.

Eaton: Lindsay asks, “Did the parents know Isaac before they went camping? Could he have been alone with DeOrr for any period of time?"
