Kevin Campbell has been traveling the United States for over 5 years. Mr. Campbell relies on the generosity of others to pay his way at each locale as he crisscrosses the continent. He is very personable. Stories from all over Sulphur Springs have a similar format. People meet Mr. Campbell, find that he is very likable, and usually end up giving him money or food. He also states he was able to obtain odd jobs from local business. For example washing windows or sweeping parking lots.
No one we interviewed felt uneasy with Mr Campbell. We simply question his story and wonder if he is being completely truthful with the people he meets.

See if the conversation includes these common points: Lots of name dropping or local business, churches, and leaders. He will praise your town, how nice the people are, how he would love to live here. There will be plenty of examples of how other have generously gave him money, with amounts included. Eventually Mr. Campbell will begin steering the conversation to how little money he has left.
