Thursday update on the search for Rory Pope:
Eagle Police, Eagle Fire, Ada County Sheriff’s deputies, and Boise Police have all resumed the search for missing 2-year-old Rory Pope, who was last seen around noon Wednesday at a relative’s home on N. Arena Way.
Crews have been doing extensive searching since Wednesday, including dive teams on several ponds in the neighborhood; police using drones to fly overhead, both during the day and overnight; officers, K9 dogs, and others doing comprehensive ground search by foot; and investigators getting Ring camera footage from neighbors.
Dive teams have concentrated their search today on the two ponds closest to the home while Eagle, Boise, and ACSO detectives have been re-canvassing the neighborhood.
Gene Ralston, a world-renowned underwater search and recovery expert who lives in Ada County, has volunteered his time and equipment — and is using a remote-controlled sonar unit to search the pond nearest to where the boy was last seen.
The pond is full of brackish water, so visibility is very limited. The pond is about 25 feet-deep in the middle, so the hope is that Ralston’s equipment and expertise will allow for a more comprehensive search.
Members of the Ada County Sheriff’s Office dive team and Eagle Fire are currently searching other ponds and canal areas close by, while detectives on the ground continue to talk to neighbors and search the area on foot.
As we said yesterday, there is no evidence of any kind of foul play associated with Rory's disappearance, so the search for Rory does not meet the criteria or the idea for an Amber Alert.
Detectives have entered Rory's information into the national NCIC database as part of the standard process of looking for him.
We realize this is difficult time for everyone and deeply appreciate your patience.
We will let you all know ASAP if anything changes.
Rory has blond curly hair and was wearing a lime-green shirt when he went missing. We are asking anyone with info to call 911.
