Well they do havve him and her at the science fair early Friday morning in photos? So he was at the school before school started.

Right, and there is a very narrow window (perhaps a minute or two) where she can say that she left him there, but she could have taken him to the car and left. If no one noticed in them together in those couple of minutes, she would have created an alibi. If she was looking to create an alibi, she would have been very careful to not let anyone see her.

I do not think this is the case!!!! But I do think it is possible.

Agree. why do we believe the step mom dropped him off at school?

She took a picture of him in front of his science project...at school.

I'll also not that she has been his step mom since he was an infant.

She watched him walk down the hall to his classroom. At least that is what the article says.

Similar to a local gay murder in which they played the strangling game. The one guy started breathing very poorly so the other stuffed him in a crawl space, still alive, and stole his car to get home.
Several police departments were involved, where they started, where the guy lived and died, where they stopped on the way. The smartest cop in the bunch kept telling the chief of the town where the house was to search the house again. They didn’t.
I think the flies gave it away after a week.

As kids disappearing from school is VERY rare, the likelihood of ANY scenario we can think of is also VERY small.

Basic categories of what could have happened are: He's at the school (likely VERY bad!), he walked away on his own (not so bad), a relative took him away (maybe or maybe not bad - Sometimes there are hidden secrets in families) or a stranger took him from the school (VERY BAD, and also VERY DIFFICULT to do without being seen.)

The stepmom and the child attended a Science Fair from 8 - 8:45am.

Something I have not thought of is that the science fair would put a lot of additional people on school grounds at the time of the disappearance. More suspects.

History has showed that it’s usually a family member that is the main suspect.

No...when I was a student in the same school system, the office called the parents by 10am to let them know their child was absent from school.

I don't understand why they changed to policy to wait until 6pm rather than almost immediately.

I suppose if a school doesn't make the call at all, a 6pm call is better than nothing.

No one home and too difficult to track working parents?

You'd think cell numbers would make it easier.

Exactly. They could even send text messages to save time. When schools are closed due to inclement weather, we get a robocall at the house# and text messages to our cell phones.

He participated in the Science Fair, his presentation was on Tree Frogs, so he was at school at some point.

When my 18 yr old son was 9, someone entered their elementary school, he was hiding came out of nowhere and brutally attacked my son’s classmate. He beat her in the head with a claw hammer in front of all of the kids as they were returning from the library, walking quietly single file. He then fled with the claw hammer still embedded in the little girls head. This was an extemely small school, less than 500 students total from K-5th grade in the middle of a residential area.

With parents in the school milling around for the science fair, anyone could have slipped in and hid in the bathroom. The poor child could have stopped on the way to class and was grabbed there.

It would not be difficult if there were lots of people there attending the Science Fair.

Fox News reported since it was before regular school hours, regular check-in procedures were not in effect. No mention of what exactly they are.

Thanks for the links.

I don’t see the big cable networks (CNN, MSNBC & FOX) giving ths story much coverage. I wonder why.

Apparently the fair was held before school started. The boy never made it to his first period class and was marked absent. I’m curious if anyone else saw him at the fair. I’m always curious why the PD does not feel this meets the criteria for an Amber Alert. ...””Amber Alerts are designed to find children very quickly when we have specific information.”

http://www.cnn.com/2010/CRIME/06/10/oregon.missing.boy/index.html?hpt=T2

“Police have described the incident as an “isolated case” and have no evidence suggesting a crime was committed. “We’re not prepared to call it a criminal investigation at this point,” Captain Jason Gates of the Multnomah County Sheriff’s Office told reporters Tuesday, “But we are certainly prepared to call it a missing endangered child investigation.”...

“We don’t have enough information to satisfy the criteria to complete an Amber Alert or issue an Amber Alert,” Gates explained. “Amber Alerts are designed to find children very quickly when we have specific information.”
