Boise police say an 8-year-old boy missing for a week may have been the victim of a tragic event, and that new evidence suggests suspicious activity surrounding his disappearance.
Robert Manwill reportedly disappeared July 24 after leaving his mother's apartment in southwest Boise. Investigators initially said they had no evidence of foul play.
But Deputy Chief Jim Kerns told reporters today that new evidence has changed the nature of the investigation. Yesterday police searched the apartment of the boy's mother, Melissa Scott Jenkins.
So far, police say there are no arrests or suspects in the case.

They packed into three different locations across Boise to find 8-year-old Robert Manwill.
At South Junior High one woman said she volunteered because she is a mother and if her child disappeared, she would want people to come out an help her.
Boise's mayor appeared at all three locations to offer his thanks on behalf of the city. Dave Bieter said he was thrilled to see so many Boise residents show up.
"It's a great place to be mayor of. This is why," Bieter said. "You hope this sentiment continues - and it's alive and well and will be in the future."

Statesman Revelations In Missing Kid Case
July 29, 2009
<snipped>
Reporters Cynthia Sewell and Patrick Orr of the Idaho Statesman offer up a BLOCKBUSTER STORY on Wednesday’s front page, detailing an unsavory past of the adults involved in the disappearance of Robert Manwill, the 8-year-old tot last seen in the area of Vista and Cherry Lane.
Their detailed account took a lot of effort sifting through court records and no doubt top editors agonized over the “public’s right to know” vs any defendants right to a fair trial. In this case the GUARDIAN thinks the paper put things in perspective and provided a community service.
Mom is on probation for fracturing the skull of Robert’s half brother, her boyfriend has a history of felony convictions and is banned from being alone with Robert’s half sister.
Adding to the tragic story, Robert’s father lost another son in 1993 when his then wife stabbed him to death in at Ft. Polk, Louisiana. Based on the Daily Paper story, father Charles Manwill had custody of the boy and doesn’t have a record–other than hooking up with women of questionable character.
Slow as they may have been off the starting blocks, the Daily deserves credit for putting the massive search in perspective. The latest info will no doubt shift the emphasis of the investigation. It also leaves open the possibility that citizens and police may have been on the proverbial wild goose chase for the past five days.

6:38 p.m. More than 2,300 volunteers turned out to search today.
"The search was extremely helpful," she said. Specific areas of interest now have to be searched by trained investigators.
"Developing leads" led police to the house on Southdale where investigators have converged Friday evening.
6:17 p.m. Investigators are searching the house on Southdale Avenue, looking for evidence that could be related to the disappearance of Robert Manwill.
5:53 p.m. Ada County Sheriff's Office crime scene investigators are preparing to do a multi-agency search of a house on Southdale Avenue in Southwest Boise. Boise police department will be lead agency for the search.
Officials at the scene said they are waiting for a search warrant.
5:45 p.m. Dave Neal, director of Ada County's solid waste management, said the part of the dump where Saturday's refuse was taken has been left alone since then.
Friday, an Ada County sheriff's deputy officially cordoned it off with crime scene tape.
If police ask, the landfill workers can take Saturday's trash a foot at a time and lay it out flat, with a bulldozer, to be sifted through, Neal said.
