If he likes water, I'm worried about Minnehaha Creek which runs nearby.

Body of missing 4-year-old found in Hopkins

Hopkins Police Captain Craig Kreiling announced Monday afternoon that crews recovered the body of Waeys Ali Mohamed.

kstp.com

A big focus for the search has been the Minnehaha Creek, which is close to where the boy was last seen. Police say the current is moving swiftly right now, which is a concern. Crews have searched the creek several times but haven’t found Waeys.

Police have also said that children with autism are drawn to water and like to hunker down and hide — meaning it’s very important for the public to do their part and search their property for the boy.
