Press conference:
Call the number if you think you have any knowledge at all about his whereabouts or disappearance.
Searchers turn up at West Pilton Gardens at 10am.
All lanes of inquiry remain open, we are pursuing many lanes of inquiry.
Stressing again to call if you have any information.
Many resources will be deployed, many of which will be visible to you.
Ask for continued vigilance, out buildings, garden, sheds, cars etc.
Search them AGAIN even if you searched them already.
No evidence of criminality, very open minded... help us with the search.
Check anywhere a wee 3 year old could find some shelter.
Looked at and looking at CCTV images.
Mum is getting lots of support from police, family and friends.
She is distraught, just wants her little boy home, as do his brothers and sisters.
150+ calls to the help line, no sightings.
HAVE spoken to his father, all of the family have been very very helpful.
No suspects, no one in custody, all lines of inquiry are open.
A reporter really asked if there had been issues that might cause this THREE year old to run away. :facepalm:
Remain optimistic he will be found safe, but getting more and more concerned. Deeply concerned.
Missing persons inquiry, no evidence of criminality. All lines of inquiry are being pursued.
"The fact that he may have wandered from the property by himself is one avenue of inquiry."
Search is spreading with the passage of time and will continue to do so.
Still not any clearer on the TIME he disappeared.
Last seen 9pm when Mother PUT HIM TO BED.
One of the lanes of inquiry is who saw him before the mother put him to bed.
She did not answer whether they had actually found anyone.
After that question was asked and answered the press conference was stopped.
