Thank you! I was trying to mention that in an earlier post but was not clear. I have read family posting about the bike in 2 different links now. I'm not feeling too good about this. Praying he is found safe.

I'm sorry to be bumping this case..been following and very concerned for this young boy, but there is a case of a missing 15 yr. old girl out of Davenport, IA, I'm concerned about and I don't know how to post a link (gotta learn that). If you go to Davenport IA police department facebook page the info is there. So concerned about this young teen :eek:. Again, sorry to post in this thread; I'm in no way trying to make light of Xavior..pray for his safe return.

Wait- are we thinking it's even possible he could be the unidentified child victim found in Nevada on the 28th?
Please no.

Search expands for missing Iowa boy (kcci.com)
About 100 law enforcement officials arrived in Montezuma Saturday, and the search for missing 10-year-old Xavior Harrelson intensified, both on the ground and in the air.

The FBI worked alongside state and local law enforcement, searching around Spruce Village Mobile Home Park where the boy was last seen Thursday to nearby Diamond Lake County Park.

Officers used all-terrain vehicles and a drone as the search area expanded, but officials did not disclose any new information about the nature of the boy's disappearance.

The search area has expanded from a half-mile from Harrelson's home to a one-mile radius on Sunday. Law enforcement spent the first three days of their investigation searching areas around town as well as Diamond Lake.

Investigators have located “nothing of value” so far in their search efforts which led them to expand the search area, said Mitch Mortvedt, the assistant director of the Iowa DCI.

“We’re going to systematically search in a grid pattern with all of these volunteers,” Mortvedt said.

Mortvedt said law enforcement is limited to information it can release, but he told media on Sunday the law enforcement don't have "solid information" whether Harrelson left his home on a bike. He said there are not currently any persons of interest in the disappearance.

“We’re going through ditches and timber and the park area, we also felt we should check the lake as well,” said Mitch Mortvedt, Assistant Director of the Iowa Division of Criminal Investigation.

Mortvedt said the park is close to Harrelson’s home and a place he might come to play. But the search now moves on to day three after not being able to find him.

Iowa DIC Assistant Director, Mitch Mortvedt, says they are holding out hope of finding Harrelson alive.

"We're holding out hope, but we have nothing to indicate anything other than that, you know, we're letting the information that we're getting lead us in the investigation. So yes, we're certainly hoping," Director Mortvedt said.

One of the MSM reporter FB pages posted above she says they’ve confirmed he’s not the boy found in NV. And given that they described the boy as Hispanic, it seemed unlikely anyway.

The ‘last seen riding bike’ and ‘his bikes are both home’ is bugging me. LE is quoted as saying they aren’t sure about the info.

I hope they find this baby soon!

Xavior is considered endangered because of his age. As of now, investigators said they do not think an abduction is at play and the situation does not fit the criteria for an amber alert to be sent.

“Amber alert is meant more for criminal abduction. We just don't have information one way or another that fits in the criteria of amber alert at this point,' said [Assistant director of the Iowa Division of Criminal Investigation, Mitch] Mortvedt.

On Sunday, the radius was expanded to a mile and the Poweshiek County Sheriff's office called out for help from the community.

Great turn out of Volunteers. You have to love a great community. You hate to need it but glad to see it!

Is this the same town they held the trial for Mollie Tibbits? There would have been a lot of reporters in town at that time.

Molly Tibbits' trial was held in Davenport, IA. It's on the far east of IA, on the Mississippi River.
