That is from Bowerman, not Penner.
.It looks like some have moved from drowning to wandering off and getting lost in the woods.
Please do link those cases where a child, not an adult, has disappeared from the woods, forest, campground, and not been found after four years, and it is not a criminal case. There are a handful, five or less in the US. If I'm wrong please cite them, as I keep track of those cases and would be interested. Not an adult, that's different--adults have agency, and can choose to disappear and arrange any number of situations.
Because it happens rarely, it is improbable, and IMO, highly improbable.
What is more probable is that adults had something to do with Deorr Jrs. disappearance.
The reason he hasn't been found is because the parents won't tell where he is.

This sounds familiar but I can’t place it, so could you kindly provide a link for this? TIA.
Here is one example ... it is rare but does happen
A few years back a 6 year old went missing from a campsite soon after the family arrived. They immediately recruited all the other campers to help search. Parks officials and local police and professional trackers were also brought in but they found nothing.
This campground was in an open prairie location within a lightly forrested area , no caves or pits or rivers or lakes , searchers could literaly cover every square inch of ground without missing anything.
Rumors began to circulate that the boy was either kidnapped , or the parents had done something and were trying to cover it up. By late fall the search stopped , the campground was closed for the season , and by then everybody (including police) began pointing fingers at the parents and accusing them of murder. None of the other campers even remembered seeing the boy at the campground in the first place.
Next spring a municipal worker was sent to unlock the front gate and spotted something in the deep ditch at the campground driveway. It was the body of the boy , he had fallen off the steep bank at the park entrance , hit his head on the rocks , and sucummed to his injuries (coroners report).
Police estimate searchers had walked at least 800 times within 10 feet of the body and nobody had thought to look down.
I’m with you 100% but there actually are a lot of cases where children went missing from woods, forests, and/or campgrounds where a body was never found and no one was ever criminally charged. The Missing 411 books are full of literally hundreds of cases and a chunk of them are children. I know that not everyone likes David Paulides but like him or not, he has gathered factual info to put in the books, so they are reliable sources.It looks like some have moved from drowning to wandering off and getting lost in the woods.

I don’t believe that’s the situation here, though. Vernal and Jessica know where DeOrr went.
There is a young girl that went missing in the 1960's in Ontario Canada at Grundy Provincial Park there has been no trace of her. She was around 2 went camping with family was near the water and vanished. Will have to see if Websleuths has a thread for her.
Her name is Diane Prevost.
Here's a link to news articles about Diane Prévost. She was two and a half years old when she vanished. Lots of differences between the two, but also many similarities...

Such a sad story. I can see the similarities and differences, including people accusing the parents of foul play. And no sign of Diane from divers and air searches.Here's a link to news articles about Diane Prévost. She was two and a half years old when she vanished.

Dont have a link handy at this moment .... it happened several years ago .... and it all began with the MISSING 411 books and stories and radio interviews ..... the author (David Paulides) tended to attribute the "unsolved" disappearances to Bigfoot or some other mysterious wilderness phenomenon.
He probably did it to spice up his book sales but I was a skeptic so did some research and found a lot of those disappearances were subsequently solved ..... and nothing mysterious about them . Back then I did a few posts on the MISSING 411 threads on WS.
The missing 6 year old boy (posted above) was one of the topics that was used to discredit Paulides ... I do not dislike the guy , I just have a problem with the baloney drama he uses.

ITA. Someone who calls himself a "cryptozoologist" loses credibility in my eyes. As long as he folds the idea of Bigfoot into his investigations I question his reasoning abilities. Was Deorr taken by an imaginary creature that cannot be photographed and leaves no scat, hair or DNA? Um, no.Dont have a link handy at this moment .... it happened several years ago .... and it all began with the MISSING 411 books and stories and radio interviews ..... the author (David Paulides) tended to attribute the "unsolved" disappearances to Bigfoot or some other mysterious wilderness phenomenon.

BBM. No, he did not attribute the disappearances to anything, he has been very careful about that. It would be nice if people would stop saying that 'cause it ain't true.
