Pogue said searchers covered nine square miles by foot on Thursday. Friday’s search was expected to cover 11 square miles, unless Radabaugh is found.
Searchers are using K-9 units, all-terrain vehicles and two helicopters.
Some are carrying GPS devices, which can be placed on a vehicle or person. Once the search is completed, the devices will show the areas covered.
 
After searching all week, they now have a better idea as to where he might be. Lieutenant Sowder said, "The neighbor that we found out about today, identified him positively knew him by name called out to him on Tuesday but he kept walking at that time the neighbor did not know he was a runaway at that time."

The Sheriff’s office is concentrating their search efforts to the northeast area of the Ocala National Park.

Search enters day 6 for missing Marion County man

MARION COUNTY -- With the search for a missing Marion County man now almost a week old, the Marion County Sheriff's Office is now reassessing the search.
The sheriff's office will meet with volunteers Monday at the Moss Bluff Baptist Church, where they will discuss resources and how to proceed with the investigation
 
I could have swore that I read somewhere that he's been found. I guess we'll wait and see which MSM picks up on it if it's true. Here's to you John. All my thoughts and prayers for a safe return.

I found his Step-Mother's FB page and unfortunately he hasn't been found as of yet. She did post a sweet message (about 20 min. ago) to him calling him the master of hide-and-seek and how it's time to come out of hiding because he won and they have all kinds of goodies for him.


Come home Johnny!!!

:praying:



Hmmm, maybe they should leave some of his favorite toys and things out here and there to try to entice him..
