It is not clear how long after Jordan went missing that authorities became involved, but Monday they searched the areas surrounding his home. The Cheatham County Sheriff said there was a delay between Jordan's disappearance and alerting authorities.

"Apparently, the highly-trained K-9 units have not picked up any scent of the child.
This is unusual considering they were out on the scene quickly the first day ... and there has been no rain to wash away the scent. So now I'm told investigators will begin again questioning the parents and everyone else who had contact with Jorden. At some point, it's possible some will be asked to take lie detector tests."

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.

"Because of your support, your sheriff needs you to be ready if we make the call for more assistance," the CCSO wrote on Facebook. "Home owners surrounding the GORMAN property, please walk your property and check any out-buildings or places he could lay down and also check your game cameras!"

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."

Jordan's parents lost their first son, Josiah Adam Lassek, 24, in a 2011 car crash just before Christmas, according to an online obituary. They've been adopting and fostering children ever since, according to Tony Langdon, a family friend.

Gerald Prior, who has known the family for years through his ministry at New Life Community Church in Joelton, said Jordan was adopted. The boy has two full sisters, who were adopted with him, Prior said.

Sheriff Mike Breedlove also said they have received numerous requests from local volunteers wanting to help with the search. However, he said they are not yet at a point where they can allow a lot of people out there. He said they are still relying on experts now, but later this afternoon, they should have more information on when they can bring in volunteers.

Breedlove said at some point, they will need to get consent from homeowners to search their property.
