After six stressful days of searching, there is still no sign of Keith T. Kennedy, who walked away from a northwestern Wisconsin camp for disabled adults one week ago today.

After days of futile searching and without leads, Burnett County officials were desperate for any new techniques to find the 25-year-old autistic man who disappeared in dense Wisconsin woods.

Searchers had feared Kennedy might suffer a medical emergency without the anti-rejection drugs he has taken since his transplant in 1995. He can only speak four words, and searchers had feared he might not respond if they called out to him.

Authorities say Sunday is the last day of organized searching for an autistic Minnesota man who has been missing for a week in northwestern Wisconsin.
