Massive Search Underway for Missing 2-Year-Old Oregon Boy

Dane Paulsen disappeared from his front yard near Siletz, Oregon, prompting efforts by law enforcement, volunteers, and the FBI to locate him.

Dane Paulsen, a 2-year-old described as 'friendly and fearless,' vanished Saturday afternoon while playing outside his home near Siletz, Oregon.
Search efforts involve over 40 investigators, six police dogs, drones with thermal imaging, watercraft, divers, and nearly 140 community volunteers.
Authorities have searched 382 acres and covered 283 miles, focusing on areas near the Siletz River due to Dane's known interest in water and vehicles, though he cannot swim.
A vehicle initially considered a point of interest was located, and its driver has been cleared of any connection to the disappearance.
No evidence of foul play has been found, and the case does not meet the criteria for an Amber Alert; authorities continue to urge the public to provide tips via their dedicated line.
