any mom can fall asleep, tired, sick, whatever. it seems there were 4 other children. i don't know the ages. details are scarce right now. but he has already been missing one entire night and another night approaches, very bad situation. can't live long alone out there at that age.
On a nearby hill, the Buetzow family has been keeping a close eye on the search. They live down the street and have a boy similar in age to Emmett.. But they also know the surrounding land. They know the harsh reality of what lurks out there, and fear the worst.
“Little two-year-old like that, little poopy diapers, that’s candy to mountain lions and,. I’m sorry, and coyotes,” said Bob Buetzow.
Bob gave CBS5 News a ride through the search area on his four-wheeler, to show us what little Emmett would be facing. He pointed out Oak brush so thick, it's hard to walk through, but it could easily hide a boy from view.
“You can’t see anybody unless you are right on top of them. This terrain is so thick and rough that it don’t look good,” said Buetzow.
To make matters worse, there are several abandoned mines and wells in the area. Searchers dropped cameras down them to see if Emmett might have fallen in, but that stopped when the sun went down and won’t pick up until Wednesday morning. They said they hope to use infrared cameras on a DPS helicopter to search for Emmett’s body heat, but if he crawled under a bush, he can’t be seen.
edit to add: a woman CNN reporter called the mother and she said do not cover this! WHAT THE FUCK?? the media is your best friend when a child is missing.
