Why has there been no movement? Are they that convicted he is in the water? Wouldn’t he have turned up by now?

I guess it means they have no reason not to believe he is in the water.
 
Is there a timeline?
I feel like this has something to do with teenagers. I keep thinking that someone invited him for something (a party, maybe?) and he just lied, asked to go somewhere he knew he would be allowed to go to and went somewhere else. He might have left his glasses home if he was trying to impress someone and look cool. The stepfather probably didn't really care and just let him go. We may be looking at a situation where the stepfather is not allowed to educate and discipline so, he just said "yeah sure, do whatever you want, not my problem". Where is the Jake's father?

IMO, that is as good as a guess as any, and I wonder if LE has questioned his classmates.

The mother has no idea if he has been talking about a special friend? It could be a girl or a boy. If he had a crush on someone from school, I'm guessing he would do pretty much anything to impress that special friend. Or maybe it's not a crush, maybe he just really wants to be friends with someone and wants to look cool for that person. Being a teenager is hard and I can only assume that being a teenager with special needs can only be harder. I hope he's hidding with a kid and that he's safe.
 
Donation helps search efforts for missing La Porte City teen

LA PORTE CITY, Iowa (KCRG-TV9) -- A large donation is helping the search continue for a missing La Porte City teenager.

The Black Hawk County Gaming Association donated enough money to pay for the use of excavating equipment.

The equipment will help break up log jams in Wolf Creek and on the Cedar River as searchers look for Wilson in those areas.

Authorities will also be deciding how much more land they'll be searching after the high water recedes on both the creek and the river.

No link, sorry...

On the news tonight, KGAN CBS, I caught some of a report on dogs alerting to something along the water and Fire and Rescue would be checking it out tomorrow.
 
I can't get the link to post with the quote. Sorry haven't been on here in a very long time.
 
Authorities say the decision to start removing log jams and large debris has been coming for a while, but especially after they say K-9 units did react to the creek as if finding something in the water.

“We have had some indications that the possibility is there. We’re not just searching this area for nothing. We definitely have reasons that we’ve been brought here," said La Porte City Police Chief Chris Brecher.

Chief Brecher says what the dogs may or may not have smelled is just a possibility and it's not concrete evidence that Wilson is in the creek.

I can't find any MSM coverage, but on this site for Iowa Missing Persons, I see a Gretta Halterman listed as missing in Fort Dodge, but very recent (unsure if that is date reported missing or actual time someone last saw her):

What a sad situation.

I personally don't harbor any ill feelings toward the parents for letting him walk a few blocks on his own that night, if that's really what happened.

But I can't help thinking that early on the police were looking for video from that night in an attempt to corroborate that he ever left his house.

POSTVILLE (KWWL) -After last week's request for public donations to allow the La Porte City Fire Department and a local company to use excavating equipment to clear large logjams from Wolf Creek, the Black Hawk Gaming Association stepped up.
"We care for one another and we care about one another. That is the true Iowans that we are. I think that is the emotion that hit everybody last Wednesday night when we saw the local news," said Tim Hurley, Black Hawk Gaming Association.
The board immediately voted to cover the cost of the project with a $10,000 grant, which was announced last week, but presented the check Monday at the fire department.
"We want them to know, particularly the family, that they are not alone. That we feel Jake's absence, even though we don't know him personally. He is one of us," said Hurley.
Hundreds of volunteers gave their time to search for Jake in the week following his disappearance, including several of the Black Hawk Gaming Association board members.
Hurley says this is where the association could step in to continue the search efforts.
"It was a big sigh of relief and appreciation for what the Gaming Association was willing to do," said La Porte City Police Chief, Chris Brecher.
The excavating project will start on Tuesday south of La Porte City in the Wolf Creek. Chief Brecher expects it will take about a week to clear the entire six-mile stretch from the city to the Cedar River.
The fire department has received small donations from other people over the last week. Those donations will be used for equipment.
"We have quite a bit of equipment that has taken a heck of a beating over the last month that we need to repair or replace before we disperse it back to the departments that loaned it to us," said Chief Brecher.
If you would like to donate, you can do so by sending a check to the La Porte City Fire Department.
Tax-deductible donations can be made to:
La Porte City Fire Association
202 Main Street
La Porte City, IA 50651
Please note "Jake Wilson Search" in the memo.

Thanks for the link, j_in_c.

It appears three more individuals have been reported missing from Fort Dodge in the last year:
