is there any update on that eight-year-old took off from school?
00:04
Negative. I believe 28. Are you still back here?
00:12
Affirmative, LT-21's at the school.

He's going to stay with staff. They have a couple of teachers in the woods with a radio trying to give us a better location.

He's moving north, so we're heading up to Innis to check a neighborhood up there, maybe cut him off.

Okay, do you think Chopper would be an assistant to my closet or get him there for?
00:34
Maybe.

Give us a few minutes and see if we can't figure them. They had eyes on when we left.

It's pretty thick wood, though, so I'm not sure if we're able to get in there.

If we don't have any luck, I'll let you know.

Appreciate that. Thank you.

Hey Pat, Lori's on a gator with school staff and I'm walking in the woods over here.

They're going to be west of the high school, is what it sounds like,
01:34
just northwest of the high school.

And their drone's going to be running out of battery shortly, so.

All right, so we're probably too far north, over here. Is that correct?
