UPDATE: Sheriff Confirms Missing Toddler’s Age in Northwest Montana
Originally published: June 5, 2022. Update June 7, 2022: Lincoln County Sheriff Darrin Short confirmed the boy's age to be three years old, not four as originally reported.
Wow. This is incredible. I just got word from our radio listeners in Libby, Montana that a three-year-old boy who was missing since Friday night has now been found.
Sheriff's deputies reported that Ryker Webb "was in good spirits and apparently healthy, although hungry, thirsty, and cold" when they located him on Sunday.
Lincoln County Sheriff's Office: On 06/04 two Montana Air National Guard helicopters and drones from Flathead County and Spokane Police were able to respond, in addition to more dog teams and continued ground and ATV searching. It was extremely difficult to get the additional air assets into the Bull Lake valley due to very poor weather conditions which consisted of rain, low visibility, and low ceiling...a Code Red Alert was sent out to all neighbors in the vicinity of the point last seen, asking that they search their own properties and structures.
Here's the photo following his rescue thanks to the Lincoln County, Montana Sheriff's Office.
According to the Lincoln County Sheriff's Office, a report came in on Friday at approximately 4:53 PM "from a concerned neighbor of a possible missing child in the Bull Lake area, south of Troy, Montana."
An extensive search then began with searchers on the ground, K9s, and ATVs. Two Bear Air also attempted to assist but had to turn back due to bad weather.
Here's the full press release from the Lincoln County Sheriff's Office:
