There is a search team gathered at Washington Park right now, in search of missing 4-year-old Darnell Gray. Among the searchers is Darnell’s step-mother. @KRCG13

Uh-oh. This sounds to me like misdirecting LE. I can’t explain why exactly. It seems like grabbing something out of thin air to reference someone “who knows him well.” Like who? Did she have any ideas?Emma Claybrook on Twitter
.@NewsmanJAustin spoke with Darnell Gray's stepmother. She thinks he either wandered out of the house by himself, or someone who knows him took him out. @KOMUnews

Agreed! Having participated in searches, I can assure you it is no place for a child. It could be very traumatic. I remember one search in particular where I was looking in oil barrels. I assure you my knees were shaking at what I might find. No child should be subjected to that.I'll never understand why people bring their kids to those searches when it is quite possible that they could find a body...
How old IS this kid?
Is he 3, almost 4?
Or is he 4, almost 5?
I'm trying to figure that out now.
There's an unbelievable difference in capabilities in that 2 years!
Have you seen this child? DARNELL GRAY
Yes it does
Does his eye (left) look swollen to you in this picture?

This is absolute insanity! Come on LE-Of course he is endangered he is a child.Jefferson City Police Capt. Deric Heislen said officers are still investigating the circumstances of Gray's disappearance.
Missouri State Highway Patrol helicopter aided in search efforts Thursday.
He said police haven't put out an AMBER Alert because in order to do so, police need to have a reasonable belief that a child has been abducted and that the child is in imminent danger of serious physical harm or death. Heislen said the absence of any one of these criteria means police must classify it as an endangered person advisory.
Missouri still can't get the Amber Alert down right. Even after Hailey Owens was literally raped and murdered during the time it took to get the proper "criteria" to issue an Amber Alert.
