You are quick, Alyssa! I tried to find any mention of Tristen in the Oklahoma news but there’s not a peep. I hope that they get on top of this ASAP!

Last seen from where, do we know? From his front/back yard? At a friends house? At a store? Where??
So sad.

So sad.

Curious about this too given that we apparently know he was not wearing socks nor shoes. I hope more details are released.

I'm reading it as he had socks on and no shoes; which makes me think he got mad and walked away from home. Just guessing on that. I wish we had more info. What a little cutie! I hope he is found soon.

It shows that thunderstorms are in the area right now. Past Weather in Atoka, Oklahoma, USA — Yesterday or Further Back

sorry, I’m quoting myself. When you look at the maps it shows traffic stopped in front of a particular house right on sh131 where he was last seen. The picture in the post right above this one on Facebook would appear the mobile command of Choctaw nation is set up on this circle drive. Ponds, woods, and a highway all nearby. Bad weather last night and tonight as well. I hope he is ok.

@alyssa5597, the reply did not post correctly, the first time. Trying again.

This article states, "sock feet, no shoes." Also, last seen 7:30 pm

Oh my. I hope he's not afraid of thunderstorms. I'm also worried he'll be afraid of that command center in his front yard if he makes his way back there!!!!

Are there a lot of coyotes in that area too?

Yes, likely. Snakes in that area too. Hot today as well. I’m worried for him.

I hope someone has search dogs and a flir helicopter coming.

 

[kimmie0313]

Anyone know of why he took off? Did he leave a runaway note or anything of the sort?

 

[carbuff]

Somebody replying to that Twitter I posted was volunteering a search dog for tomorrow. It doesn't sound like they've got FBI or anything, just OK HP.

Is his name spelled Tristan or Triston? I've seen it both ways.

I believe it is TristAn, according to the Missing Have you seen this child? Tristan Weeden
Not sure if I linked that correctly.
