Police request help in finding Phoenix boy, 17 Police are still looking for a 17-year-old Phoenix boy who's been missing for three weeks. Further search by air will be under way today for Tommy Kelly, who was last seen Jan. 26. Pioneer Road residents had seen him running with his face covered with blood; he said people were after him and asked to be hidden, his mother, Vicki Kelly, said earlier. Jackson County sheriff's detective Hugh Crawford said Wednesday his agency was told that Tommy had been seen at the Rogue Valley Mall, but stressed that the sighting was unconfirmed. Police had asked people who live in the area bordered by Pioneer, Dark Hollow, Coleman Creek, Voorhies and Carpenter Hill roads to check sheds, outbuildings, brush thickets and other hiding places for the boy. Tommy is white, 5 feet 8 inches tall, and weighs 170 pounds. He has brown hair, hazel eyes, and was last seen wearing light-colored denim jeans, a blue shirt and black Nike shoes. The family is offering a reward. Anyone with information is asked to call Crawford at 774-6815. Mail Tribune Copyright � The Mail Tribune 1999, Medford, Oregon USA
