News

About 30 police officers, fire personnel, state parks employees and citizens continue searching for a 5-year old boy last seen late Wednesday afternoon playing with other kids at Carl G. Washburne Memorial State Park north of Florence.

Lane County Sheriff's Office Search & Rescue has now taken over the search for the missing 5-year old boy, Isaak Benjamin Glenn, from Veneta.

Oregon State Police Sergeant Andy Kenyon said Isaak arrived at the state park with family friends before 5 p.m. and was reportedly playing with several other children near their campsite when one of the children noticed he was not around.

With the help of other campers, family friends immediately started searching around the park but were unable to find him. They called Oregon State Police about 30 minutes later.

Siuslaw Fire Department also responded to help coordinate the search efforts.

Isaak is described as a white male, 3 ft. 6 in. tall, weighing 40-45 pounds.

He has red hair, brown eyes, and was last seen wearing a blue t-shirt, gray shorts and flip-flop style sandals. 

Authorities have notified his parents. They are at the state park to help.

Conditions in the area Wednesday night are described as foggy with temperatures in the 50's.
