He is described as a black male, 3 1/2 to 4 feet tall, weighing approximately 50 pounds. He has light-colored, shorter hair and was wearing a black and white sleeper, black coat, red Spiderman Velcro shoes, Mickey Mouse hat and gloves, and a "Black Panther" backpack.

Young boy missing in Jefferson City

I hope he decided to go on an 'adventure' or visit family/friends instead of going to sleep and will be found safe soon. The things missing along with him are what you'd think a young child might take if they decided to sneak out on a cold night. But, if he hasn't been found around town by this time the day after he left leaves me worrying something may have happened to him. The worst outcome I imagine is another Asha Degree type situation.

Apologies, I searched for a thread and couldn’t find one.

I’m here around the area Darnell S. Gray was reported missing from. Police officers are searching in and around the drainage system. @KOMUnews

I just spoke with Captain Deric Heislen with the JCPD. He said right now they aren’t suspecting any foul play. They just know Darnell is missing from his home. They hope spreading his photo on social media will alert family members or friends who may be with him. @KOMUnews

I'm confused. They are saying that he was "last see wearing a black coat, etc), yet in an earlier post upthread, it stated that those items were missing, not that he was seen in them.

This is scary. Poor Lil guy. And it’s so cold at night too.
My son is 5 and I don’t think at 3, almost 4, he was capable of getting his coat, shoes and backpack on. Let alone have the sense to pack a snack.

I hope my gut is wrong about this and he’s found safe soon!!

I think it meant he was missing along with those items maybe? @Steelslady

My oldest son was 4 when he packed his hot wheels suitcase and walked outside. I saw him when he didn't think I did. Before he packed it, he said he was leaving. I told him to make sure he grabbed a snack. I told him to call when he made it where he was going (lol was playing along). He was able to put his coat, hat and shoes on (velcro shoes). Our dog found him when we went outside in his dad's truck in the driveway. So it is possible. Just hoping it isn't another one of those cases where he was taken from the house

 

[HayLouise]

I just spoke with @JeffCityPolice Captain Heislen. He said the areas around where Darnell Gray went missing have been searched multiple times. Detectives and police are regrouping to decide what to do next. @KOMUnews

AZ - Boy, 4 weeks, reported missing, found dead in teen mom's apartment, Chandler, 24 Oct 2018

This boy was reportedly kidnapped but LE thinks mom killed him. 4 weeks old. Please please Darnell, be safe and sound! (and warm!)

Many people are wondering why an Amber Alert hasn’t been issued for Darnell Gray. Captain Heislen said certain criteria have to be met to issue one, and not all of them have been met at this time. @KOMUnews

An Endangered Person Advisory has been issued for Darnell Gray. Captain Heislen said @JeffCityPolice don’t have reason to believe Gray was abducted, but they do think he is danger because he is alone in an unknown location. @KOMUnews

Endangered Person Advisory Issued for Missing 3 Year Old

UPDATED: Missing child reported in Jefferson City

 

[leyash]

I can't with these stupid freaking cases.

I'm sorry, I'm likely jumping the gun, but I wouldn't know if 47 goldfish were missing from my house, so the fact that they are so precise about what is missing with him (the juice boxes and cookies) makes my hinky meter go off. I'm praying and asking forgiveness at the same time, because I really really hope I'm wrong.

 

[SuziQ]

A 4 year old might do this during the day. Little ones are usually too scared of the dark at that age.

What a cutie pie.

I know. I was thinking- even if the little guy took off on an adventure by himself, he'd get down a street or two, realize nothing was familiar or hear a noise that might frighten him, and start crying.

 

[liltexans]

Was there a lunch packed in his backpack? I'm wondering if the lunch was packed the night before and that's how they know 2 juice boxes are missing and some cookies. Maybe a pre-packed snack for preschool/pre-K?
