Foul Play not ruled out, but not believed to be a factor in misisng boy

The search continues today for Isaak Glenn, the missing 5-year old Veneta boy who disappeared yesterday while family friends were setting up camp at Washburne State Park 13-miles north of Florence. Lt. Gregg Hastings with the Oregon State Police says the large number of people involved in the search signifies the priority officials have placed on finding the boy.
209 – “Well, the response of the personnel here just rubber-stamps the importance of trying to find Isaak as quickly as we can. We have detectives here, as well as troopers who have been helping with the search, and interviewing all the people that are staying at the campground.”

Searchers have been actively canvassing the area since five last night, and at dawn this morning the effort was bolstered by the addition of at least two canine units. Hastings said they continue to focus on the immediate area of the 70-unit campground.
210 – “The search coordinator believes that based on the geographical makeup of the area it would probably be difficult for a five year old boy to wander beyond the boundaries that they’re focusing on right now.”

Officials say they’re not ruling anything out, but at this point they don’t believe there’s been any foul play.
211 – “There’s no indication that there’s been any criminal activity associated with his disappearance.”

While the ocean shore is less than a quarter mile away and just across the highway, Hastings said they believe it would be unlikely the boy would stray that far.
212 – “His parents have described him as very smart, energetic, he loves the outdoors, but he’s not a risk taker. So, they would be surprised if he would have gone into a place that would be very difficult to access.”

For now the ground search continues, Hastings said they have a helicopter on standby and they’re hoping the overcast will burn off and allow them to begin an aerial search. Lane County Search and Rescue is spearheading search operations, they’re assisted by Lincoln County as well as numerous firefighters, parks employees and volunteers.
