He Came for Treatment. His Body Was Found In a Lake. WHAT WENT WRONG?

TRAGIC –

June 8, 2024 – Kyle Sherwood flew to Los Angeles in early May for an intensive drug treatment program, his family hopeful that this one might stick. The facility, Dream Center, had come highly recommended from friends in their home state of Washington, and they were optimistic that a fresh start might be just what the 28-year-old needed. We were hoping that him being in a different city, a different state, he wouldn’t be able to leave and find his old friends,” his older sister Heather Knaack said.

But nothing went according to plan.

Within a few days of arriving in Los Angeles, Sherwood had left the treatment program and called home, using a borrowed phone, from MacArthur Park, a downtown-adjacent square of greenery and open water that has become known for a large homeless encampment. His mom, Deedee Harris, said she tried to convince her youngest son to find his way back to the treatment center, to no avail. She never heard from him again.
