Kovach was last seen in Blacksburg on September 18th where he withdrew 80 dollars from a money machine before leaving West Virginia to attend a college football game.
His abandoned Geo Tracker was discovered four days later off route 19 near the New River Gorge Bridge.
Sources say his vehicle may have run out of gas.

But so far, no one's been able to confirm whether the articles actually belonged to Rob Kovack.

((Auburn is on a mission to prove the critics wrong. After being picked to finish fifth out of 6 teams in the Three Rivers District, the lady eagles officially took flight Tuesday night when freshman Staci Humphrey scored the game winning basket with under ten seconds to play to beat perennial power Floyd County 70-69.
((:))
Tim Goetz returns just three varsity players from a 10 and 9 team last year. The lady Eagles attribute their respectable 7 and 4 record so far to a tough schedule early.
((:))
Although Floyd County lost to Auburn in it's district opener, count on the Lady Buffaloes to be ready for the long hall. At 8 and 4, all but two of their 12 games have been against double A teams.
Shawsville is 10 and 2. Senior Megan Forester is averaging 18 points a game and the lady Shawnees are 2 and 1 against double A schools.
Last but certainly not least are the defending state champion Lady Highlanders, Glenvar might be 6 and 5, but a brutal double A schedule should prepare Brian Harvey's troops down the stretch.
Speaking of double A, Salem has quietly built a 10 and OH record and is perfect so far in the Blue Ridge at 4 and OH.
((:))
With two starters and five varsity contributors back, reaching the state semi finals a season ago just isn't enough for Salem.

((NITA BOOTH/MISS VIRGINIA 1998; THROUGH MY STUDYING ABOUT MY PLATFORM, I FOUND OUT ABOUT HOW MUSIC AFFECTS CHILDREN AND HOW IT AFFECTS BRAIN DEVELOPMENT. SO I'VE DECIDED TO IMPLEMENT A NEW PROGRAM WHICH IS "MUSIC FOR VIRGINIA BABIES". THROUGH THIS, I WILL DISTRIBUTE TAPES INTO THE HOSPITALS TO PARENTS OF NEWBORN BABIES, SO THAT THEY CAN START AT AN EARLY AGE DEVELOPING THE CHILD'S BRAIN.))
