Bush has rabbits. Maybe he followed an animal. Do the grandparents have a cat or dog he could have followed BUT HOW FAR- HE'S ONLY A TODDLER.
Back to the drain. Little boys love those things could he dropped a ball or toy and then fell in after it?
I firmly believe he would fit through that drain. The police should be lifting the concrete top.
I do hope all the visitors fully checked their cars. Last summer a beloved pet jumped into a car and someone closed the door. After a frantic search from the owner and friends he found his dog dead in the car only metres from his door.
I can't think of the child's name yet in order to find the thread, but we had another 2-3ish year old (a girl in this other case) that went missing in a very similar area terrain wise just in the last few months. (For some reason I'm thinking it may have been northern or central CA?)
It was a family with a lot of little kids, and a whole lot of trees around, and she went missing from the yard. I think mom was at work and dad was with other siblings in the house.
She ended up being found at least over a day later a remarkable distance from her home, but having gotten there all on her own. If I recall correctly, she ended up sort of wandering out of the woods on her own and near a service road or something and was found by searchers.
It's not this case - http://www.oregonlive.com/news/index.ssf/2010/03/on_his_own_brookings_man_finds.html but this is another (remembered this one while trying to find the other I was originally thinking of!) that's similar.
4 yr old, wanders away in a very short time span (and I believe 911 was called very quickly also) also somewhere very remote.
She ended up being found by someone who went searching himself when they appealed for people to help search. She was found at least a day later about 3 miles from her home.
So I'm glad they're expanding the search area despite it being less likely wee ones can get that far very quickly - because some can/will - and then are able to get even further while initial searches stay restricted to the closer areas.
Praying these two endings will be how William's story ends as well!
