Found Deceased IA - Xavior Harrelson, 10, Montezuma, 27 May 2021

I agree. I think if someone sheltered him that night and something happened to him, they would probably want to get Xavior out of their trailer/house ASAP. Just my speculation.

I know they brought dogs to his own trailer. Were the dogs also used to search EVERY trailer in the park? Did anyone refuse to let LE come into their trailer?

They did search every trailer, I believe. Neighbor says they searched his van, too.

I hope any nearby vacant buildings have been searched.

Yes, I keep thinking of Harley Dilly.

I know that there is a smaller manufacturing building right next door to the trailer park that has been unused and for sale for a few years. I just keep praying they find him soon.

Iowa boy missing, one week after vanishing from trailer park - ABC News (go.com)

Detectives are considering several possibilities in the disappearance of Xavior Harrelson, including that he was abducted, that he suffered some kind of accident or that he ran away, Iowa Division of Criminal Investigation assistant director Mitch Mortvedt said.

[...]

Police are confident that they have searched and cleared the areas where the boy could have gone on his own, including a large nearby county park with woods and a lake, Mortvedt said. ...

Harrelson lived with his mother in the Spruce Village trailer park in Montezuma, Iowa, a town of 1,300 people that is 70 miles east of Des Moines. He disappeared after leaving home around 11 a.m. on May 27. A friend's mother later called authorities to report the boy missing after speaking with Xavior's worried mother.

[...]

Xavior completed his fourth grade year at Montezuma Elementary School on May 21 and was off for summer break. He was known for riding his bike around the trailer park.

“Xavior is a happy kid who gets along well with his peers and wants to please his teachers,” said one of his teachers, MB. “He's always willing to help you out, engage in a conversation, and offers a smile to everyone he sees.”

New member to Websleuths. Much respect to all who post here. This is my go to place whenever anyone goes missing. Have been lurking and sometimes glued to this site since Caylee Anthony. Hoping and praying that Xavior is found safe.

There's a VERY good chance they may have found his bike IMO

I was just about to ask if his bike had been found

We don't know if it has been found or not, that was just the poster's own thoughts which kind of muddy the waters.

 

[SolveigtheSavage]

I thought both of his bikes were home? I swear I saw that somewhere in MSM...

 

[katydid23]

Great post.
Esp. re. the cameras.

From the link I'd quoted, the neighbors in the trailer park knew Xavior lived alone with his mother and that there was possible friction.
Was there a predator keeping an eye on Xavior's living situation and offered to help ?
MOO

That situation could make him very vulnerable to grooming---possibly from a 'father' figure hoping to take advantage of him. But grooming a young person doesn't usually end up in their disappearance, unless things go very wrong, or they were kidnapped/trafficked instead...

I thought I saw that too because the lady that called it in stated it was odd that he would leave his bike?

"The gut's telling me it's not just wandering off because he never leaves his bike," said Angel Carman, a neighbor. "He loves his bike."

Thank you! I thought I had read how much he loved his bike and that it was "odd". Which means his bike is still at home and not missing.............

 

[MntnHiker]

And besides loving his bike, if he WAS going to take shelter at someone's home that was a distance from his own home, a bike would just make more sense than walking to help you get there quickly.

I feel like he was taken out of the trailer park in someone's car. Just MOO.

 

[bleuboy]

I'm worried that after the argument with mum, he went out and met someone who had bad intentions.
if this is the case his poor mum will probably blame herself because they argued.
I think he could have been ttidying of someone in the area that he had seen while playing out. It only takes a SO to jump at a chance.

 

[SusieQbeam]

bleuboy, unfortunately your theory is quite plausible... Xavior sounds like a wonderful child. They argued. He walks out to get away from the conflict and blow off some steam/clear his head. He is getting older, just turned 11 (yet having to handle the adult role of caretaker). And something happened that was beyond his control.

 

[EGirl]

Has it been confirmed that the arguments neighbors referenced were between Xavior and mom? Anyone else frequent the house? Did mom have a boyfriend?

 

[SusieQbeam]

On MSM, only he and Mom lived there

 

[SusieQbeam]

Praying for you Xavior

One week later, search continues for missing 11-year-old from Montezuma (bbm)

[snipped by me]

AC: "There was shouting, yelling. You know, you could hear, like, they were outside for a minute, and then they were inside, and then it was– and then it went quiet."

This part makes me really nervous.

Xavior, I'm praying for you sweet boy. I hope you're just really resourceful and good at hiding, and that you feel safe to let someone know where you are soon.
