UPDATED: The search for Robert: Boyfriend of Robert's mother admitted to Saint Al's, then released
Published: 07/31/09
<snipped>
2:49 p.m. Daniel Edward Ehrlick, the boyfriend of Robert's mother, was admitted to Saint Alphonsus Regional Medical Center but has been released, according to a hospital spokeswoman.
She was unable to say when he entered the hospital or for what he was treated.
2:20 p.m. As of 2 p.m., counted from all three staging locations, there were 1,687 volunteers. The 3 p.m. search will continue, and they plan to cover much of the same ground, just to be sure.
As one group of volunteers finished their shift, Boise Officer Kip Wills thanked them.
"No matter what, this is still a missing child," he said. "Your efforts are not wasted, they're not in vain. It's easy to get jaded."
1:14 p.m. Here's what came from the press conference — the latest news still — as recapped by Statesman police reporter Patrick Orr:
Boise police say they have discovered undisclosed evidence that shows “suspicious circumstances” in the disappearance of 8-year-old Robert Manwill and that he “may indeed be injured — or the victim of a tragic event.”
But Boise police have not identified a suspect or person of interest in the case, and officials say they still need the hundreds of citizen volunteers scouring the Vista neighborhood to look for Robert.
“Robert is still missing. It’s very important we locate Robert and or find any evidence that may help us locate where he is or where he isn’t,” Boise Police Deputy Chief Jim Kerns told a group of reporters Friday afternoon.
Kerns said volunteers should report anything that looks “suspiciously out of place ... that may point to where Robert is. Even if we find nothing, we’ve learned where Robert isn’t. That too is helpful.”
For the second time in 12 hours Friday morning, Boise police detectives and crime scene investigators searched the apartment from where Robert disappeared. Police officials haven’t said what the evidence is that leads them to believe Robert was injured but did say that was what officers were concentrating on Friday.
Manwill’s family members, including his father, Charles Manwill and his aunt, Trish Burrill, attended Friday’s press conference. Some wiped tears away from their eyes as Kerns spoke.

Boise police officials announced today they have new leads stemming from fresh evidence that suggests 8-year-old Robert Manwill went missing under suspicious circumstances.
"He may be injured or the victim of a tragic event," Boise Police Department Deputy Chief Jim Kerns told media at a noon briefing.
The search for the Boise boy continues and he is still missing, Kerns said. Overnight, detectives and the FBI found evidence that may bring investigators closer to knowing what happened, Kerns said. The circumstances around the boy's disappearance are "suspicious," Kerns said.
Manwill's mother, Melissa Scott Jenkins, did not attend the press conference. Police did not release information about Jenkins' whereabouts, and said no arrest warrants have been issued related to Manwill's disappearance. Investigators roped off searched Jenkins' apartment Thursday night and removed items of interest.

For the first time, Boise Police admit missing 8-year-old boy Robert Manwill's disappearance is suspicious. At a press conference this afternoon, Deputy Chief Jim Kerns revealed police found evidence to indicate Robert may be injured or the victim of a tragic event. Police would not say what evidence they found.
Also today, a crime scene van was seen at the Ada County Landfill. A portion of the landfill was marked off with crime scene tape. Boise Police will not confirm or deny if the crime scene van is related to the search for Robert Manwill.
Police showed up at the apartment complex on the Boise bench where Robert Manwill lives late last night and stayed until the early hours of this morning.
Police did tow away a car belonging to the family and removed several bags of items from the home. It's unclear exactly what was in the bags.

Search for missing Boise boy takes grim turn

A Boise search for a missing 8-year-old took a grim turn as police suggested he may be hurt — or worse — and searched the apartment of his mother, who has a history of harming another child.
Police and FBI detectives Friday coordinated more than 1,500 volunteers in a massive search for Robert Manwill, who reportedly disappeared July 24 after leaving his mother's apartment on the southwest side of Idaho's capitol city.
Early in the week, investigators said they had no evidence suggesting foul play.
But Deputy Chief Jim Kerns changed course Friday, saying new evidence recovered in a Thursday night search of the apartment of the boy's mother, Melissa Scott Jenkins, has detectives tracking new leads.
"The evidence we've uncovered shows that there are suspicious circumstances surrounding Robert's disappearance," Kerns said during a press conference. "Volunteers assisting in the search today are being given the information by search team officers that Robert may indeed be injured or the victim of a tragic event."
So far, police say there are no arrests or suspects in the case. Investigators were seen taking an SUV and other items during the search of Jenkins' apartment Thursday night.
Jenkins has been at previous press conferences, but didn't attend Friday. Police wouldn't say where she was.
Jenkins "did willfully inflict" the injury to her other son "by striking the child's head on a surface, causing a fracture to the child's skull," on Oct. 19, 2008. She was sentenced to 29 days of work release, fined $75.50 and put on probation for two years, according to court documents.
That child is the son of Jenkins' boyfriend, Daniel Edward Ehrlick. The boy was in the care of the state Department of Health and Welfare through at least February, according to court documents. The agency will not release his whereabouts, citing policy.
Jenkins has a third child, a 2-year-old daughter fathered by a third man, who has custody of her. Jenkins has visitation rights. Ehrlick, who has been convicted of burglary, battery and possession of drug paraphernalia, is banned from being alone with the girl, but court documents don't say why.
