AMBER Alert: Authorities scour wooded area for missing 9-year-old boy in Cheatham County

Five law enforcement teams are out Monday afternoon in a heavily wooded area near the home where Jordan was last seen Sunday morning. There are no volunteer efforts at this time.

TBI is asking residents in the area of Valley View Road in Joelton to walk around their property and search for places a child might hide, such as a crawlspace, shed or outbuilding.

When asked on Twitter if authorities believe Jordan is still in the area, TBI Spokesman Josh DeVine replied, "We certainly hope so. That's why we have teams searching so aggressively in the immediate area."
 
“Whatever it takes until we cover every square inch,” said Sheriff Breedlove referring to how long agencies will continue searching for Jordan. “He could only be 100 yards from us he’s just a small child that’s why we’ve asked for a lot more of the expertise.”
Amber Alert issued for Cheatham County 9-year-old

It’s not clear why Jordan Allen Gorman left his home in Joelton; he was reportedly last seen walking in the woods. The family pastor said the boy was adopted by a couple, along with his two sisters, and they are also fostering two other boys. Their eldest son died in a 2011 car accident. “We can’t believe this is happening to this family again,” Gerald Prior of New Life Community Church told The Tennessean. “There is less than 1% chance the parents have anything to do with his disappearance. [They’re] good people.”
9-Year-Old Tennessee Boy Missing in Frigid Weather


The parents of a missing 9-year-old Cheatham County boy at the center of a statewide AMBER alert are no strangers to tragedy, having lost an adult son about a decade ago in a car crash, according to their family pastor.

Gerald Prior has known the family for years through his ministry at New Life Community Church in Joelton. He said he spoke with Jordan Allen Gorman's family Monday about the boy's disappearance.

Jordan’s dad is “completely broken, saying I don’t think I can do this again,” Prior said Monday night.

The couple lost their first son, Josiah Adam Lassek, 24, in 2011 just before Christmas, according to an online obituary. They've been adopting and fostering children ever since, according to Tony Langdon, another family friend.
