The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department pushed an at-risk missing person alert for 24-year-old Moreno Valley resident Keion Dade on Monday, over a month since he went missing after going overboard a Catalina Express ferry in Long Beach and a week after his family held a memorial for him.

A spokesperson with the Sheriff’s Information Bureau said at-risk missing person reports are usually sent out once detectives have exhausted all of their resources in their search and call on the public’s help.
It is not clear why the message asking for the public’s help in the search for Dade was sent out over a month after he was last seen. Detective T. Abraham, the detective listed on the missing person flyer, did not return calls for comment.
