Approximately 30 police officers, fire personnel, state parks employees and citizens are searching for a 5-year old boy last seen late Wednesday afternoon playing with other kids at Carl G. Washburne Memorial State Park north of Florence.
According to Oregon State Police Sergeant Andy Kenyon, on August 4, 2010 at approximately 5:00 p.m. ISSAC BENJAMIN GLENN, age 5, from Veneta, had arrived at the state park with family friends earlier in the day and was reportedly playing with several other children near their campsite when one of the children noticed he was not around.
Family friends assisted by several other campers and the park camp hosts immediately started searching around the park but were unable to find the boy. Oregon State Police was notified about 30 minutes later and four troopers responded. Siuslaw Fire Department personnel also responded to help coordinate the search efforts. Lane County Search & Rescue personnel are enroute to the park while the search continues tonight.
