The way I read the OP article was that the call of a missing 8 yr old came from the house but if there was a missing 8yr old from elsewhere maybe the call came from a neighbor seeing something suspicious. MSM will catch up at some point.
 
The news conference is planned for 1:30 p.m. on Tuesday, March 12, at the Sheriff’s Office, 200 E. Highway 14, Janesville
