I got the alert, and this one seems concerning. Usually there's mention of a custody issue, but not this time.

Sad news. I wish I could drop everything and search every time an alert is issued.

Helicopter is within ear and eye shot of me now. Just got an email saying they had enough volunteers right now. Erie feeling too as I put my 4 year old down. Hopefully he will be found soon.

3 miles (not nit picking  :wave: ). But he pretty much passed in front of my neighborhood if he was on foot the whole time. No telling how he got there, being missing for 3.5 hours.
