SILETZ, Ore. (AP) — Authorities in Oregon were searching Sunday
for a missing 2-year-old boy last seen playing in a yard the day
before.
Dane Paulsen was reported missing around 4:25 p.m. Saturday, the
Lincoln County Sheriff's Office said. Members of the sheriff's
office and fire and police agencies searched the property and
surrounding areas on foot and with drones with thermal imaging
equipment Saturday, the sheriff's office said in a statement on
social media.
On Sunday, search and rescue teams were conducting methodical
searches of an area north of the small city of Siletz, near the
Siletz River, using drones, dogs and watercraft, the sheriff's
office said. Volunteers who wanted to help were urged to stay
out of the main search area.
A late 1990s gold station wagon that was seen near the home
where Dane was last known to be is considered a “vehicle of
interest” in the investigation, the sheriff's office said.
However, Sheriff Adam Shanks told KATU-TV that there is no
evidence that the vehicle was directly involved in Dane's
disappearance.
