By Jim Bissett, The Dominion Post

MORGANTOWN, W.Va. — If you were traveling on the eastbound lane of Interstate 68’s Cheat Lake Bridge around noon or thereafter during last Sunday’s snowstorm, Monongalia County Sheriff Todd Forbes wants to hear from you.

The sheriff wants to know if you saw anything, or have cell phone video or photographs,  detailing what may have happened to Kevin Lataille that day.

People are asked to call 304-291-7260.

Lataille, 59, of Smithfield, Pa., was on his way home after completing his shift at the Patteson Drive Eat’n Park.

He never made it.

A week to the day after his disappearance, a dive team from the Murrysville, Pa., Medical One emergency responder network punched through the frozen-over lake below the bridge on Sunday. 

Latielle’s car – a bronze-colored Hyundai Tucson, Pennsylvania license plate KSD 4278 – had been submerged in 12 feet of water.
