I'm replying to your post twice.1st reply I felt it was the next day that the reporter was talking about. Sadly, now that I go back , it keeps coming up as "yesterday"( even todays news shows him missing as of yesterday) I'm not sure if the comments that I posted (from MSM) is giving me the day he went missing or he visited neighbors to play the day before. I don't want to post false info. I hope there will be some clarification.

Also, up until now they have only mentioned where Michael lives, SW 9th and Arizona. New areas are mentioned:
SW 8th, which is one street over, and Cornwall Way, which is two streets over.
Did someone see Michael there, or did someone report seeing unknown person or vehicle there? Did they find something or camera?

Pretty narrow focus on the area and time of interest, and asking for help identifying "individuals who were in the area".

Here's a map with the area's you mention. Google Maps

You can google walk the area here Google Maps but the image data says it's from 2012, so not up to date, dang it!
 
I literally have no idea how is family is feeling. I hate hate hate anytime anyone is missing or harmed and can’t even begin to place myself in their shoes.

Trying to stay positive but is there any chance there are any wells, or holes he might have fallen into?
 
Looks like they have pulled out all the stops to look for this child. Every possible resource is either on the ground or on the way. Hope the dog and tracking teams find something. @ByTheSea, do these homes have basements with window wells? Small children fall into window wells from time to time, that just popped into my head this morning. If LE is looking at this thread, I have run into some woodlands/suburban interface area situations where children will hide from searchers because they are scared of all the activity, vehicles with lights, military looking uniforms and afraid they are in trouble. The best way I know of to deal with this is to complete all search operations, then place a search dogs and handlers in various locations around the PLS and have them sit quietly and listen. Generally the dog will key in on any movement in shrubs, etc. Sometimes eating something like cookies or a candy bar and remarking on how good it tastes will draw them out. "Wow Monkey, this cookie tastes really, really good, do you want one?"
