Ugh, how heartbreaking. I just hope that Maddox's last run was full of fun, exhilaration and joy- that he saw fun things and had one hell of a great adventure before passing away. Please, please let that be the case, for him, and his loved ones.Live feed. Reporter said about a mile and a half from the park.

Are they talking about Long Creek? If so I think you can see the path, which runs alongside it on Google Maps. Unfortunately the resolution is awful but I think I can see where Maddox may have veered left instead of right towards the parking lot.@BrigidaMack Heartbreaking news. How far away from the park was Maddox's body found? More than a mile?

About a mile. No more. When #Sky3 panned from the scene of where #MaddoxRitch was found -we could see Rankin Lake Park.
Our @WBTVSteveO said a witness told him there’s actually a path/trail from the park that runs under hwy 321 to the area where he was found. @WBTV_News

I’m trying to catch up as fast as I can but y’all are fast. Here is the 911 call. Sorry if it is a duplicate.
'We’ve searched everywhere': 911 call released in search for missing NC boy
I took that to mean that kids were jogging around the track. Perhaps those are one of the joggers he was said to have ran after.I was just about to post this when I saw the devastating news. Had to take a break.
Maddox Ritch: 911 caller says father was 'out of breath' after son went missing
I no longer really trust MSM. Always with a box of Salt. But I notice the guy says - “kids”
BBMI expected that he fell in the lake. I did NOT expect for him to have been found near the road. This does not look good.
Mine will be 15 in December wow 15 in my head she’s still a baby until I think about her age. Looks like we’ve both been on this journey together . Life IS easier now I’m not in the place of having to be “on 24/7” with her anymore. We gained a bonus child that just turned 3 though so he’s the one who keeps me on my toes. My girl is so much easier now I think back and wonder how we got through it. Puberty was a god send for us she really matured a lot and is just a different kid in many ways. She’s non verbal but she can let you know what she needs wants in many other ways.Completely relate. We have a 15 year old with autism. She takes 10mg of melatonin every night and still does not sleep through the night. We now have an alarm on the house - every door and every window. We did not give her the code; so she can not disarm it.
My God. Rip Maddox praying for the family.Okay.My heart just cracked. Praying for you...And for Maddox to be in your arms SAFE soon.
