Coos County Sheriff searching for 5-year-old boy missing since Saturday​

The Coos County Sheriff’s Office is looking for a 5-year-old who went missing over the weekend.

Police say Joshua James McCoy has been missing since 5:30 p.m. on Saturday from a home on Stage Road in Hauser. That’s when his mother discovered he wasn’t inside the house after the two of them had taken a nap.

Joshua is described as 3 foot 6 inches tall, thin, with brown hair and eyes.

The sheriff’s office says Joshua is autistic so he may not respond when called to.

Police are thankful for the community members who have offered assistance, but officers say the search and rescue team is not currently “seeking additional manpower due to the nature of the proven process of searches and evidence preservation.”

The investigation into a missing five-year-old boy is expanding.

According to the Coos County Sherriff's Office, Joshua McCoy went missing in Hauser on the morning of Nov. 9. CCSO said Joshua took a nap with his mother around 1:00 p.m. and when she woke up at 5:30, he was missing.

Sheriff Gabe Fabrizio said officials began searching for McCoy immediately.

“I don’t think it was reported until later that evening after dark. We started [Saturday] around 11:30 until the sun came up. They were out there searching and they did a pretty comprehensive gray pattern search [Sunday],” he said.

On Monday CCSO activated CORSAR, a multi-agency agreement of trained and resourced searchers, to aid in the search.

Sixty-one searchers from throughout Oregon and California were on scene Monday. Search teams employed K-9's, drones, overhead support and law enforcement officers. However, there were no leads as of Monday.

“They’re out there searching. They’re out there searching their hardest. They are reporting all evidence if they find anything that might possibly be a clue to add to lead to the location of Josh. At this time we don’t need any civilian searchers. The area is pretty small and crowded," Fabrizio said. “We have requested and received support from both state and federal agencies. We’ll be following up with them."

Fabrizio said the reason why law enforcement is asking the public not to help with the investigation is because it could make the search more difficult and could destroy the evidence in the investigation.

“Almost always the person is found within 300 meters of the last known location, and we’ve already expanded well beyond the 300-meter point,” he said.

Fabrizio said law enforcement may still ask for the public's help, but it depends on the search and rescue on scene to make that determination.
 
Just to be clear, even if she reported him missing immediately when she says she woke up, around 5:30 pm, it would have already been dark. Or well on its way.
So was he reported missing "after dark" around 5:30? But they also said they started searching immediately. So was the report closer to that 11:30 pm time that the search began? It would change a lot...
Also interesting that in a huge, densely wooded, rural area that they're concerned with "preserving evidence". If it's just so professional searchers and dogs can work, that's a weird way to say it.

Mom took a 4 5 hour nap in the middle of the afternoon?

Taking a 4.5 hour nap gets me. Most kids would never get to sleep at a decent time at bedtime. Something bothers me about HER taking a nap that long.

Lots of people defending her online. Her sleep schedule could be really messed up, especially with an autistic kiddo.
It does seem like a VERY long time though.

Here is the updated information regarding Joshua's case:
Updated: November 11 @7:15 PM

Joshua was reported missing after sundown on November 9. After an initial assessment was completed, local teams began searching the surrounding areas, and their efforts intensified on the morning of November 10, using drones, Deputies, overwatch, and Detectives. Team assignments were given, and the area was canvased using real-time GPS for tracking. Some clues were found, but nothing definitive.

As of today, CORSAR, a collaborative search and rescue effort between 7 Counties in Oregon and California, has continued the search with 61 ground personnel, aerial support, and K9 resources. The Coos County Sheriff’s Office has also requested assistance from State and Federal agencies, with additional resources expected to arrive tomorrow, November 12.

While citizen offer of aid is much appreciated, the search area is limited in capacity, and the concern is that evidence would be missed or tainted with an overwhelming number of personnel on scene.

Nothing is being ruled out at this time as we are considering all possible avenues. We maintain hope that Joshua will be found alive and well.

With an autistic kiddo and SHE got in a 4.5 hour nap. If he's very deep into the spectrum (or is this a way to get more attention to finding him), I'd think she would be sleeping with one eye open and be a light sleeper. Possible exhaustion or illness could explain it though

Has there been any mention of any others in the household besides the two of them?
 
I've decided on no new ones for obvious reasons and have stuck to it, but sometimes habit takes over but mostly I stick with it. The instinct to look at kids' cases really takes over but I've ignored it and managed to no look at most of the last how many. I feel guilty over it as I feel like it means I don't care but again not taking on new ones here unless I already have heard of them.

And out of habit ended up in this one without intending to.

M first thing to from the very start was the length of her nap/sleep.

And that's it. It's not an accusation, but I do find it notable. Now that I looked I'll wait for more to come as that doesn't mean anything at this point.

I would say on would think dealing with an autistic child that is five years old, you'd have a system or habit of locking doors, making sure you don't oversleep, etc.

BUT every parent needs to sleep and needs down time too, a shower, you name it. Not enough is known here for me to even have an opinion, I did find that a long time though and I'd think safety measures would be a norm. Hard to say though, very little known so far.

So now I made the mistake of looking and won't leave it once I do but rest assured, I do not need a response. Simply agreeing on the nap thing, it jumped out.

And of course I'm not on things like FB sources, etc. So commenting blind other than what's here.

G'nite.

Praying for you Joshua.

Some areas of Oregon have some pretty amazing search teams and so maybe that makes sense. Not sure about Coos county. But they could’ve been bringing in search teams from other areas. Even my small county has an excellent search team.

It depends on her working hours, but it does seem suspect. I would never sleep that long with a child of that age.

I can't imagine expecting a 5 year old to take that long of a nap at that time of day. I need more info before I say much to their particular situation. I definitely know that people have to do what's best for them and not what's best for others.

I'm getting a picture of being possibly overwhelmed.

The Coos County Sheriff’s Office has also requested assistance from State and Federal agencies, with additional resources expected to arrive tomorrow, November 12.
 
Coos County officials are expected to receive additional support Tuesday, the announcement continues. While they’ve discovered “clues” about Joshua’s disappearance, nothing is “definitive,” it says.

“Potential clues identified will not be released at this time as there is nothing definitive,” Sgt. Christopher W. Gill of the Coos County Sheriff’s Office told SFGATE via email. Joshua, who has autism and may not respond when called to, should also answer to “Josh” or “Joshie,” according to the department’s flyer.

“Nothing is being ruled out at this time as we are considering all possible avenues,” the office wrote in the announcement. “We maintain hope that Joshua will be found alive and well.”
