Was he outside alone? This doesn't sound good.

It’s so so wrong that when I read this I instantly think ‘here we go again..’ let’s be honest he probably hasn’t been abducted. Beautiful little boy, I pray I’m wrong and there is a happy outcome.

 

[Laughing]

Right now? Picky-picky here alerted to ask that the complete year be listed in the thread title.

Maybe Duke will be home before that happens???

Google Maps
I noticed backyard swimming pools in the area. I hope someone checks them first.

So he is missing from his front yard? It is worrisome that his yard is right by the Highway. That's how some kids have been abducted.

Perp, driving by, sees the kid, maybe the older kids aren't paying attention, or may be Mom went inside to get them a sandwich....POOF....gone in 60 sec0nds....

It is weird that he was said to be missing from his front yard. Why is a 6 yr old playing in his front yard at 10 pm?

Yikes.

What possible excuse is there not to report your 5 yr old missing for 2 weeks? Where would you think they were all that time?

I guess maybe someone could have lied to them, like the other parent, or a grandparent etc?

Otherwise, I can't think of any reason you wouldn't know they were missing.

Was there a custody battle going on?
