Overview
- The 12-year-old was last seen Jan. 2 around 11:20 p.m. near Fourth Street and East Grand Avenue in Chickasha, wearing a red-and-black plaid shirt, dark jeans and brown steel-toe boots.
- OSBI and Chickasha police say they believe he is alive and are pursuing numerous leads while concentrating searches across Grady and Caddo counties with drones, canines and ground teams.
- His mother, Kimberly Cole, and stepfather, George Cole, were arrested this week on suspicion of child abuse and child sexual abuse and remain in the Caddo County Jail.
- Investigators executed search warrants at multiple properties connected to the family, and officials say the boy will not be returned to his parents’ custody if found.
- Community volunteers expanded canvassing efforts Friday and planned a 7 p.m. vigil in downtown Chickasha, as authorities asked anyone with information to contact OSBI at 1-800-522-8017 or tips@osbi.ok.gov or call 911.
