New Year's Day will mark six months - 184 days - since Ricky Holland's parents say they last saw him, and police don't appear any closer to solving a case that drew national attention and gripped a community.
Authorities have chased possible sightings, searched the Red Cedar River, followed tips from a July airing of "America's Most Wanted" - even dug up the boy's parents' backyard - but turned up no sign of the Williamston youngster who turned 8 years old in September. Ricky's parents also remain "persons of interest" in the investigation, police said.
Studies indicate that only a small percentage - a fraction of one percent - of missing children are never found.
Still, Tim and Lisa Holland continue to hope for their son's return, said their attorney Neil Rockind.
"They're extremely devastated that Ricky is not in their home, where he should be."
