Peak, CO area. His family had been camping, Evan suffers from attention deficit disorder. Searchers continued to search the heavily wooded area for the missing boy.
Nearly 100 rescuers and three aircraft scoured remote and rugged terrain southwest of Pikes Peak Tuesday for an 8-year-old boy with attention deficit disorder who disappeared four days earlier.

Search continues for missing 8 year old boy
The search is focused along the Teller and Fremont county lines, just north of Canon City. The child disappeared in an area known as “Cactus Cliff”, a place lined with steep limestone cliffs. The steep cliffs are of the biggest concerns for rescuers. They’re worried he may have slipped and fallen hundreds of feet, but they also say they hold out hope that he may be safely tucked away in a cave.
Emergency crews from all over Southern Colorado, including the military and the Civil Air Patrol, have been helping in the search. Rescuers are working nearly around the clock, and have even brought in crews from as far away as Kirtland Air Force Base in New Mexico who flew up in a helicopter with infrared capabilities.

Mothers Day is usually a joyous day to spend time around mom and thank her for the many things that she has done over the year and years that we have taken for granted. It is also a day to remember our moms if they have since passed. Remember the great times and the special moments.
For some mother’s out there, the mothers of missing children, today is a difficult one. To those mothers of so many missing children we wish you a special Mothers Day and God Bless.
Please read the following post and transcript from the Nancy Grace Show where she had the many mothers of missing children. These moms are a breed a part.

A bizarre turn in the missing persons case of 6-year-old girl missing Aarone Thompson. Shely Lowe, 32, who lived with the 6-year-old girl missing since November died of an apparent heart attack.
Shely Lowe, 32, had a history of heart trouble and was on several medications, police chief Daniel Oates said. She died at a hospital early Friday morning after her live-in boyfriend, Aaron Thompson, called 911 and said Lowe was having trouble breathing.
(AP via Yahoo News)
Aarone Thompson was reported missing on November 14, 2005.
On Nov. 14, Thompson reported that his daughter, Aarone, was missing, telling police that she became upset and left the house when he refused to let her have a cookie.
Three days later, police halted their search and said they believed Aarone may have been dead as long as 18 months. They said they received a tip but have not released any specifics.
Lowe, Thompson and their defenders have criticized police as focusing on the couple instead of searching for Aarone, whose 7th birthday was on Nov. 30.
Police in turn have been openly critical of Lowe and Thompson, calling Aaron Thompson’s account a fabrication and the couple’s behavior “morally reprehensible.”
