Obviously, we are all speculating here, perhaps wild speculation at that. My theories are either this was a kidnapping for ransom gone awry--ie perhaps a mixup (rare, yes, but it has been known to happen) or that someone close or familiar with the family (female) took him. Both theories are based on the bizarre behavior of LE in this case. They could be inept because they don't have much, if any, experience in these matters--but the FBI would have corrected that pretty early on. As far as has been reported, Kyron wasn't wearing a jacket, and it's been raining and cold (about 55 degrees at night)--yet they haven't commented on hypothermia or showed any concern related to his being subject to the elements for an extended period, or at all. Further, if the elements were a concern (and they should be if he is lost in the woods) & they were looking for a "live Kyron" they would have stepped-up the search, as they did today, much earlier. That's why I think they know or believe he was kidnapped. (Of course, they could believe he is deceased which would also explain their behavior but I hate to go there just yet--the Sheriff got me at "We're going to bring you home, buddy.") Most crimes are committed by people that know the victim--that is why LE first looks to the immediate family and then from there looks in degrees of familiarity with the victim. I believe a young boy would be more willing to walk off with a female than with a male--even if he knew the male. I think it is more probable than not that a woman might "blend" easier in a crowd than a male; that others would not take much notice of a woman with a young boy. Woman that cannot have children of their own most often kidnap babies but also young children. Both are rare, but it happens. I am positive the artwork pix were to humanize him to the kidnapper per the profile (they may not know who it is but believe they have a profile of who it is) and that art pictures would strike a chord more in a woman than a male. I also believe that per the profiler, LE is communicating with the kidnapper at these press conferences --and what they have been saying leads me to believe they think it's a woman.
