Can someone remind me if LE or msm has confirmed he was sseen on video?
TIA!

I don't have time to look for the link right now, so I'll say IMO - in one of the authorized video interviews, mom said that there was only one camera on their street at that time, and unfortunately it faced the driveway and not the street, so Monkey was not seen on camera.
I did a typed transcript of that video, and remember typing it. (Transcript is either in this thread or thread #1.) IMO

Thank you. That's what I thought. He was not seen on video, as far as we know.

Thank you. That's what I thought. He was not seen on video, as far as we know.

I've only heard he was "seen by multiple neighbors outside the home". Never seen it said he was caught on video - if so, why wouldn't we have seen it? No need for LE to hold it back?

This is my recollection as well.. although (IMO) didn't the info about multiple neighbor sightings come from mom? I can't remember anything about us hearing from the witnesses or having any of it corroborated by LE, either.

I think the neighbour/babysitter said publicly that she saw him outside the home, as he had knocked on her door, wanting to play. She said she sent him back home?

So the question still stands---did he go back home then or not?

 

[ReadySet]

There is no msm or LE reports of anyone seeing him, afaik. I could be wrong though, interested to know for sure.

Thanks, I was looking for that And hadn't found it.

Thanks, I was looking for that And hadn't found it.

Glad to help. I knew I’d seen it here before (and elsewhere non-MSM), and knew we needed the version from here, for TOS.

Thanks. Neighbors saw him according to Mom. LE and neighbors have not confirmed. Could be LE told neighbors not to talk about it

 

[steeltowngirl]

This version is MSM. And it’s bothered me that he was looking for older neighborhood kids to play with. Did he often play with older kids? Teens?

Mother of missing Idaho boy, 5, desperate for his return

It’s been more than four months since 5-year-old Michael Vaughan walked out of his family home in Fruitland, Idaho — and disappeared.

www.newsnationnow.com

She says her son was looking for older neighborhood kids with whom he could play.

“He went to a neighbor’s house. And another neighbor’s house, and another neighbor’s house,” Neal said.

Still following this sad case … Hoping that LE are close to finding Monkey…
Its so hard to imagine how children can just disappear???

Fruitland PD chief on Michael Vaughan case: Some people have been uncooperative

Fruitland Police on Friday held a news conference to update the community on missing boy Michael Vaughan, who disappeared nearly one year ago.

Watching presser, Channel 2 Boise
haven't cleared all leads.
Positively identified blue car. Identified man seen jogging.
Have not identified white Honda Pilot. Believe it belongs to resident in area.
Have not identified white male adult black shorts walking toward splash pad. Releasing photo of him, will be on FPD website. want to talk to him.

Questions to police chief: Have parents been cleared? Did not answer directly, said parents cooperative.
Looking into friends and family close to the Vaughans, and outside of the Vaughans.
Have there been anyone you've searched who have been non-cooperativ? Yes there have been.
Multiple persons of interest. No suspects.
Briefly showed both parents and I think the grandfather leaving the presser.

IMO: my take-away is that there is at least one suspect, who has not been cooperative. Putting up his picture to put pressure on him?

Quoting my own post: I must have misheard. I can't find anything about a picture of the splashpad guy being released. Guess I should go get that hearing test. Sorry if I posted mistakenly!

Listened again; the chief did say he was putting up a picture of the splashpad suspect on "his official website" later today.

No, it's there in the article, fourth paragraph:

"A photo of that person will be released to the public later Friday."

There is nothing wrong with your hearing. Police chief did say that a picture of the splashpad guy will be released later today. It is also mentioned in the article you linked:

There was also a man seen walking through Crestview Park before the time of Michael's disappearance who has not been identified. This man is not a suspect, but police want to talk with him for additional information.

A photo of that person will be released to the public later Friday.

I find it interesting that Payette L.E. was there. Do neighboring towns help each other out on missing person's cases?

 

[ChatteringBirds]

It's bothering me that only after a year they are asking for help identifying people from photos. I know logically that LE is probably doing as well as anyone could but emotionally so much time has passed now.

Fruitland PD released a photo of this individual for the first time on Friday. Detectives also released a new image of a white Honda pilot -- hoping to verify the owner.
