Overview
- An 11‑year‑old boy known as Parker, who is autistic and non‑verbal, walked away from his dayhome on July 16 and has not been found despite ongoing appeals.
- Police and partner agencies conducted an intensive multi‑agency search that covered more than 8,600 km on foot and tens of square kilometres before announcing on July 27 that physical searches in his last known areas have been completed.
- Authorities say they do not suspect foul play and remain prepared to resume targeted searches if credible new information emerges.
- Investigators have pursued an Amber Alert exception, reviewed more than 100,000 CCTV clips, examined hundreds of tips and seized digital evidence while contacting rideshare, taxi, delivery, rental and rail companies for possible sightings.
- The search drew hundreds of volunteers and broad social‑media reach, and police continue public appeals and hotline channels as they focus on evidence review and following up digital leads.
