I'm more pragmatic. Both parents said he was going to be on vacation there. I just always wonder.
The Yreka sightings still intrigue me. The Walmart sighting was ruled out, but I'm still curious about the Motel 6 sighting.

"Then on Thursday, a couple visited the [police] department and told [Police Department Detective Steve] Fahrney that they had stayed at the Motel 6 on Main Street in Yreka on the evening of June 6, and saw a boy matching Kyron’s description with an older male.
“We got the information from the hotel and forwarded it to Multnomah County,” Fahrney said, adding that they have received no further information from Multnomah."

"Fahrney said the Idaho psychic called a tip line in Sacramento, Calif., and his information was passed along to the Yreka police. The local police then passed out flyers with a photo of the boy, and in the days that followed they received two tips independently from people in the area.
"Yesterday afternoon I was contacted by a couple that had stayed at our local Motel 6 on Saturday, and they believed, after seeing Kyron's picture, that they saw a boy matching his description staying at the Motel 6 that night," Fahrney said. The couple reported the boy was with an older man, he said..."It's coincidental that we get basically these three tips in one week, so all of our officers are familiar with Kyron's picture and they've seen the video."
The video the article refers to is from the Walmart sighting, not the Motel 6. I've not found anything that indicates there was any video footage for the Motel 6 sighting.

"Another possible sighting at a Yreka motel also turned out to be false. The sightings were reported after police in the small northern California city distributed flyers with Kyron's photo."
I've never read anything that explains why the motel sighting "turned out to be false". I've found lots of details about the Walmart sightings, but not on the Motel 6 sighting. Leaves me curious.

ETA: For the Walmart sighting, they actually found the people on the video and spoke with them. Turned out it was a boy resembling Kyron with the boy's grandparents.
