Investigators change missing child case to murder investigation Angie Goff on child missing for eight years (Goose Creek) Jan. 10, 2006 - It's been eight years since Kevin McClam disappeared from his home at the Naval Weapons Station. It's been eight months since WIS told you about his case and the ongoing search to find him. After the story aired, investigators say credible tips came in. Special agent Stan Garland with the Naval Criminal Investigative Service says, "Your station absolutely played a very important role." Since the WIS report, the search has gone from looking for Kevin to looking for a killer. The special agent made the announcement at a news conference on a basketball court, one of the last places Kevin was reported seen. Garland announced, "We know someone is lying, someone knows more than what they're saying about Kevin's disappearance." Until now, it was believed no crime had been committed. But the NCIS says new forensic evidence shows Kevin may have known his killer. There are no suspects in the case, but the agency is interviewing people of interest. In fact, a cold case unit from Washington D.C. will now stay in Charleston till the case is closed. NCIS special agent Steve Dreiss is confident, "We solve cases construed unsolveable." Kevin's parents were not at the news conference. They live in Georgia. But WIS' Angie Goff talked to Kevin's mom Tracy by phone. Angie asked Tracy about the Navy's push to close the case and find Kevin's killer. She responded at this point all she and her husband can do is hold on to their faith, and that they have faith in the investigators too. Agent Garland says, "That's awesome, coming from the family. Makes you want to work twice as hard to resolve the matter." A $3,500 reward is being offered to anyone with information that leads to a conviction in the case. Agent Garland is asking for the public's help, "I'm very hopeful someone sees us here today and will simply want to do the right thing." Agent Garland and the rest of the team want to end a mystery that has haunted more families than one, "Every night when I go home, I think of Kevin and I can't even imagine how the mother must feel each night, go to bed not knowing what happened to her son."
