UPDATE I: Helicopter, crews searches for missing child
UPDATE II: STORY IS A HOAX … CHILD WAS NEVER MISSING!!!
It turns out that 3 year old Siraj Unir Davenport was never missing. The entire story was a hoax. Not only is the boy safe, he was never missing in the first place.
But authorities said none of that was true during a news conference Tuesday morning.
“I can tell you that the child was never in Smithfield. The child was not abducted from the flea market central square,” Smithfield police Chief Steve Gillikin said.
Local and federal law enforcement agencies spent a lot of resources in their search as they looked for the boy on Sunday and Monday, canvassing the area around the flea market.
“There’s been a lot of man hours spent, there’s been a lot of money spent, and unfortunately, in situations like this, it makes the next one that comes along that much more difficult,” Gillikin added.
Local mothers were also upset when they heard of the hoax.
“You get a little disgusted that someone would even pull something like that because you want people to pay attention when kids are missing,” Johnston County resident Caren Wharton said of the hoax.

Call it a father’s love for his daughter. Call it Mark Lunsford making sure that his precious 9 year old daughter Jessica Lunsford did not die in vane. The unspeakable acts that John Couey perpetrated on Jessica Lunsford are beyond comprehension. What else but the death penalty did Couey deserve? Mark Lunsford has made it his mission in live that Jessica’s Law will protect children from sex offenders and that the rights of the victim are more important than the rights of sex offenders.
Mark Lunsford has taken the worst personal tragedy that a parent can suffer and turn it into a positive mission for good. Mark Lunsford is a TRUE AMERICAN HERO!!!.

William Pilkenton, 8, of Washington State went missing Friday, February 15, 
2008 while vacationing with his parents on Vancouver Island on a beach at the edge of Tonquin Park.
The boy was last seen just after 10 a.m. on a beach at the edge of Tonquin Park, according to Royal Canadian Mounted Police. He apparently was playing near the shoreline about 35 feet from his parents just before he disappeared.
The boy’s parents, David and Camilla Pilkenton, were in shock after the disappearance of their son William, Royal Canadian Mounted Police Sgt. Dave Lucas said.
“I don’t know what a big enough word is,” Lucas said as he tried to describe the parents’ anguish.
Search resumes Saturday for missing eight-year-old from U.S
TOFINO - Volunteers, police and search and rescue personnel resumed a frantic search Saturday around Tofino, trying to find an eight-year-old Washington state boy last seen playing on a rocky beach.
William Pilkenton and his father David were walking along the rocky shore of Duffin Cove, near a bed and breakfast where the family was staying. The older Pilkenton left his son for a moment and when he returned, the boy was missing.
An RCMP dog team brought in Friday night went out again early Saturday and another dog team was scheduled to join the search later in the day.
Garth Cameron of Westcoast Inland Search and Rescue said an RCMP dive team would also join the search.
An RCMP helicopter with infrared capacity to detect body heat also began flying over the area.
Massive search in B.C. for missing 8-year-old
UPDATE I: Official search for lost Washington boy ends, but local searchers on lookout
TOFINO, B.C. - The official search for a lost seven-year-old boy has ended but local airlines, boating companies and others will remain on the lookout for any sign of the child.
Search co-ordinator Garth Cameron said none of the search and rescue crews were going out Monday and those from other parts of Vancouver Island have gone home. “Our SAR group is still recovering,” Cameron said.
After scouring Tofino and the surrounding area since Friday, Cameron said searchers concluded that William Pilkenton probably was lost in the waters off the rocky beach where he was last seen playing.
“It’s a high probability that he’s in the water,” said Cameron.

A nationwide search is on for 13 year old Hannah McConnell and 15 year old Gage Petherbridge who have run away together. The ran away from their homes Saturday with one family’s minivan, $680 in cash and a dog named Mandy. Looks like they have taken the important things in life. Don’t leave home without the Xbox. Think these two when found won’t be grounded until they are 18? Hopefully, they will be found safe.
The youths haven’t been seen since last Saturday, when Gage snuck out of his home and took the family’s white 1997 Pontiac Montana with Michigan license plate 6DYW54. They pair left with $680, clothing, an Xbox 360 and Gage’s dog, Mandy.
Hannah McConnell
Gage Petherbridge
If you have any information on the two teens you’re asked to call the Genesee County Sheriff’s Dept. at (810) 257-3406
The Flint Journal reports the Vienna Township teenagers left notes and journal entries saying they were running away together. Julie McConnell says her daughter has bipolar disorder and left without her medicine. Mary Wismer says her son has had his learner’s permit since June and is a very cautious driver.
Genesee County sheriff’s Capt. Chris Swanson says police have reason to believe they may be in the area of Huntington Beach southwest of Santa Ana on the coastline in Orange County, California.
Mom fears for teen daughter who fled with boyfriend
Runaways draw national attention
Hannah’s mother, Julie, said she was told police were following a lead in the Gladwin area and were also talking with her daughter’s classmates.
Their names have been entered in a national database along with the minivan, a white, 1997 Pontiac Montana, license plate number 6DYW54.
Gage, a ninth-grader at Clio High School, does not have a driver’s license.
The teens left home early Saturday with about $700 and Gage’s cocker spaniel, Mandy.
The teens apparently ran away to be together.
Gage’s MySpace page says “im lost without her” and that he is “completly inlove (sic) with hannah elane mcconnell and no one can ever change that.”
An entry for his mood on the page shows a sad blue face next to the word “distraught.”
Hannah’s MySpace page shows two hearts with the words “I know who I love.”
Missing Michigan teen called from Nevada, boyfriend’s family says
Teens call from the road that they are running low on funds. Funny how that happens when mommy and daddy are not there to provide for your every need. I guess the two showd have thought about that before they decided to run away. $680 just doesn’t get one very far these days, especially with the cost of gas. Then again, what would a 13 and 15 year old know about these things, or personal responsibility for that matter.
A 13-year-old Vienna Township teen, who ran off with her 15-year-old boyfriend and has been missing for a week, made a call to a friend today from motel in Nevada, family members of the boyfriend said today.
Mary Wismer, Gage Petherbridge’s mother, said Hannah McConnell called a friend in Swartz Creek, telling him that they were in Nevada, but running low on money.
Police are trying to track where in Nevada the call was made, Wismer said.
