"She checked on the kids, thought he was in bed. This morning when I woke up at 8:30 to groom a dog, he was not in bed," said Dennise Bugna, partner of the child's mother. "We just want the family back."
The boy's teenaged brother was watching after him while their mother went out for the evening. They discovered he was missing in the morning around 10:30 a.m., according to Martinez.
Here's the very little bit I've found, just a quick summary from the above news links:
- 7:30 or so Sat night he went to bed
- Last seen wearing blue basketball shorts and no shirt
- 9:30 or so Sunday morning parents realized he wasn't there
- 10:30 LE was called
- LE, helicopter, bloodhounds, and volunteers searching
Couple of quick personal comments. That seems kind of early to go to bed IMO for a boy his age, and also seems like a long time to sleep (7:30-9:30?). Maybe he needs lots of sleep? I'm wondering if he was made to go to bed early for some reason and got mad. AFAIK there's no indication he's a potential runaway, the time is just the only thing that jumped out at me so far.
There's definitely water around. From the Menifee City FB page:
You might have to scroll around some but here's a Yahoo map too:

This is in my area, just up the road from my city. My in-laws live in Menifee, also.
About going to bed so early (from the other thread) - my friend has an autistic 19-year-old and his bedtime is around 8:30, so I see nothing unusual about the time he went to bed. My friend's son gets up so early that he needs to go to bed that early.
There is a big man-made lake in Menifee, with houses built right up to the water, but if they live off Scott Road that would be quite a hike for him to make. Doable, but not real close.
Where are you getting that he slept till 9:30? That's the time they noticed him gone, he could have woke up at 6:00 or 7:00. Could also be many reasons for going to bed so early. Maybe he just wanted to go to his room and play games or something for a couple hours before he went to sleep.

Based on this article, I gather that the step-brother is DB's son and Terry is SS's son, but they reside together as a family. The comments ask about "dad", but in this case, I believe "dad" is actually DB.
