Isaak Benjamin Glenn, the 5-year-old boy missing since late Wednesday at a state park north of Florence, was found safe this afternoon and returned to his parents, Oregon State Police reported.
Two men driving on a dirt road near Big Creek north of the campground spotted Isaak about 1:10 p.m. and brought him back to Carl G. Washburne Memorial State Park, where his parents had been frantically waiting since late Wednesday.
Medics were en route to the campground about 1:30 p.m., but other than some "obvious scratches," Isaak, of Veneta, appears to be none the worse for his night-long ordeal, said Lt. Gregg Hastings, a state police spokesman.Isaak arrived at the park for a camping trip with family friends on Wednesday. He was last seen playing with a group of children near the group's campsite, Hastings sad.
One of the children noticed Isaak had disappeared about 5 p.m. Joined by other campers, the family friends searched the area for about 30 minutes before calling 9-1-1.
Kristopher and Rebecca Glenn were soon alerted to their son's disappearance and drove to the state park to help. A search of the coastal park featuring more than 30 troopers, deputies and firefighters from Oregon State Police, the Lane County Sheriff's Office and the Siuslaw Fire Department stretched through the night.
Police said early this morning that they did not suspect foul play, that Isaak has no known disabilities or medical issues, and appears to have just wandered off. The two men brought Isaak back to the campground where he was reunited with his parents, drank some water and ate a sandwich.
