Found Deceased OR - Joshua McCoy, 5, Autism, goes by "Josh" or "Joshie", may not respond, missing when mom woke up frm nap at 5:30pm, Stage Rd, Hauser, 10 Nov 2024

[Gemmie]

something feels weird......
4 and 1/2 hour nap in midday... that's a long nap.

I had that same thing strike me and was going to post that that was one loooonnnnggg nap IMO.

 

[Gemmie]

I wonder why the delay reporting?

This coupled with such a looooonnnngggg nap is really making my hinky meter clang loudly. I hope where my mind is wandering is wrong.

We have activated CORSAR to assist in the search for Joshua McCoy, a multi-agency agreement of trained and resourced searchers.
The community outreach offering assistance is greatly appreciated, but at this time SAR is not seeking additional manpower due to the nature of the proven process of searches and evidence preservation.
We will keep everyone updated as we’re able.

Evidence Preservation? Hmmmm

Ok long nap cod be legit- no clue how tired or work schedule or exact timing - yesterday I was babysitting a friend’s foster son- I put him down for nap at 1p took forever for him to fall asleep, I dozed in the couch and eventually he slept for almost two hours- and I got him up about 4:45p and some times my kids would sleep that long or I’d fall asleep hard after a few sleepless nights-

Not the norm, and never had a runners for very long but we had alarms on the doors if we were fostering a high risk kiddo…

Agree with the hinky meters going off, as it seems odd, but the nap in and of itself isn’t the biggest factor for me… moo

We also know nothing about their lifestyle. Is mom a single parent/ works nights? Any other children in the house? I really don't want to go down that road without something other then a long nap. Praying.

Sunset was 4:58 pm. It would have been dark before the reported nap even ended, let alone before it was realized he was missing.

Even your nap wasn't 4.5 hrs long. 4.5 hrs is one heck of a long nap IMO.

I still feel the same.

I’m lucky to sleep that much in a stretch at night most nights. Something definitely feels off in this case

When was he seen by someone other than his mother?

 

[MyJoey]

Joshua is a cutie, sure hope he’s found today.

Yes! I thought about saying this but didn't. I don't sleep well at night and even so I NEVER nap. In fact, I actually hate naps. lol I know... they say short ones can be good for you. I only take a rare nap if I'm ill and even then it's not very long.

Sure, we're all different but 4.5 hours just really makes me go Hmmmm....

I had to check about the average length of naps. According to Sleep Foundation...

Nap length appears to decrease when we age, according to the survey, but we might nap more often. Among survey respondents ages 25 to 34, the average nap was 1 hour and 18.3 minutes, compared to 43.4 minutes for respondents ages 55 and older. In each age group, average nap length got shorter with increased age.

Who's Napping, How Long, and What Does It Mean for Our Health?

More than 80% of U.S. adults nap. Are we doing it right? Experts weigh in on napping benefits, the optimal nap time, and the best nap length.

Depending on work schedule and or medication, daytime sleeping might be more common for some than others and might fall outside of the normal definition of “nap” -

that said 4.5 hrs of daytime sleep is a LOT and something feels very off - but I do wonder why those times would be given, perhaps mom put him down first and she laid down/fell asleep an hour or so later? moo

 

[Gemmie]

Even Jesse Vang (Elijah Vue case) "only" took a 3 hour nap between 8am and 11am and when he woke Elijah was "missing". And anyone following that case knows how it ended. "Little Man" (What I call Elijah) will be a "little man" forever.

the reporting on this has been confusing to me. Mom woke up around 5:30 after a 4.5 hour nap to find Joshie missing, reported him missing that evening, but Coos County didn't send out search and rescue until the next day? Is that accurate? How long did their initial assessment take before deciding search teams were appropriate?? This one stinks of all sorts of hink IMO JMO

the last three quoted sentences below lead me to believe LE smells the same hink I do. MOO
-----------------------------
The Coos County Sheriff's office activated the search and rescue team the next day, and said they have found 'some clues' in their search but 'nothing definitive.' No further detail on those clues have been shared.
[snip]
'After an initial assessment was completed, local teams began searching the surrounding areas, and their efforts intensified on the morning of November 10, using drones, Deputies, overwatch, and Detectives,' they said in an update on Monday night.
[snip]
The department added that 'nothing is being ruled out at this time as we are considering all possible avenues.

'We maintain hope that Joshua will be found alive and well.'

Police have asked the public stay away from the search area as they are concerned that evidence could be destroyed.

ETA I do hope I am mistaken and that Joshie is found safely and soon.

I know this is biased by my own lifestyle and routine as a mom who works regular business hours for 40 hours a week, but by age 5, I had to be on top of how long my kids napped for or else they would never sleep at night. They got maybe an hour tops before I woke them up unless they were recovering from an illness or other issue which required them to get more sleep. I understand laying down if your child is napping- I've done it myself- but 4.5 hours seems a little extreme to me. Trying to keep an open mind though that maybe mom's schedule is vastly different and Joshie stays up way later than my kdis did at this age.

I interpreted what they said differently. They said their efforts intensified the next morning, not started the next morning. IMO that's due to it being dark when he was reported missing "After an initial assessment was completed, local teams began searching the surrounding areas". The search started shortly after him being reported missing, but ratcheted up the next morning when it became light.

TY. Have you seen if it was reported the area or section of Stage Road little guy went missing from? It appears to be a long stretch with some being in Hauser proper and most being in a very wooded more rural area with few houses dispersed over a large area. Trying to get feel for the search area but hard to know without knowing whereabouts on Stage Rd. was his starting point. Also haven't seen as yet if Josh is known for elopement or attracted to water which is the case for some kids on the spectrum.
