I wonder if they were afraid of becoming involved with LE for some reason.

yes, I could think of one reason...

Sadly I don't think he is missing-per say
IMO

I don't think LE does either. I would expect to see a neighborhood canvas.

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....

Apparently he's been missing for a week but was just reported by parents yesterday! There's crime scene tape around the family home and a plethora of law enforcement. It's not sounding good.

I don’t even know what to say. A week, two weeks? Do we even really know when he went missing? Does anyone?

 

[katydid23]

Wouldn't the parents be charged with a crime for not reporting their child missing after so many days?

When I first read about this on our local FB group it stated one week but I guess it's been two, according to family.

Neglect of a child comes to mind.

Perhaps the family member who stated 2 weeks made the comment because that was when that person last saw him? Whatever, even if the parents waited 1 day to report him missing I see that as a huge red flag.

Unfortunately child abuse comes to my mind.

His big fat smile just kills me. What a sweetheart.

 

[Rosiebones]

He is six years old, I wonder if he is in school. He should be in first grade. I wonder if the school inquired of the home as to his absence before he was reported missing.

I was just thinking the same thing. I’ve been following A.J.’s thread - I swore I would take a break after that depressing murder. But here I am, along with u guys.

I can only hope Duke’s case has a better ending, but then, due to the circumstances and few facts we know, a good outcome is highly unlikely.
