Coppers Turn To Citizens For Help
July 25, 2009 
Innovative work on the part of Boise coppers searching for an 8-year-old boy missing for more than 24 hrs included a roadblock on Vista at Cherry Lane Saturday night where motorists were handed MISSING CHILD posters.
Dispatch told the GUARDIAN the automated dialing system with a recorded message has been activated as well and because of the vast area covered they expected the auto dialing to Bench area homes to go on into the early morning hours.
The skinny little guy who is subject of the massive search effort is ROBERT MANWILL, who weighs in at 50 lbs and stands 4 feet 2 inches. Last seen wearing jeans and black Air Walk shoes and a T-shirt in the area of Vista and Cherry Lane.

I’m a mom of a 10 year old up on the bench and I’m scared to death. Praying the BPD will find him safe soon, but I’m scared they won’t. It’s been too long.

Per another post above, one would almost think this is a made up story to keep people from thinking about the abuse issue by the BPD. Otherwise why is there no discussion of an abduction?
This is really strange.
