The person was already said to be a male named "Keith," possibly around 30 years old. Investigators determined that Ella Jones may have used a ride-share service when she left her home. Mount Vernon Police look into a ride Jones may have taken and identify a man named "Keith" who ordered a ride share for Ella. His address is in South Haven Michigan.
