The search for 5-year old ISAAK BENJAMIN GLENN is continuing Thursday afternoon under the direction of the Lane County Sheriff's Office Search & Rescue Unit. GLENN was reported missing Wednesday afternoon after he was last seen playing with other kids on a wooded hill behind a campsite at Carl G. Washburne Memorial State Park about 12 miles north of Florence. A TIP line has been established to help locate the missing child. Anyone with information is asked to call 888-780-5678.
Lane County Sheriff's Deputy Wade Martin is coordinating the search efforts that started in and around the campground. The search is now extending outside of the campground involving search and rescue personnel from Lane County and Lincoln County. Approximately 25 searchers are in the area assisted by two canines. Weather conditions have improved allowing a US Coast Guard helicopter to assist with the search.
Deputy Martin appreciates the concern of local citizens asking if they can help, but at this time they have adequate, trained personnel searching in the area.
Oregon State Police (OSP) detectives and troopers have completed interviewing campers in the campground which had no vacancies for the 70 recreational vehicle, trailer and tent sites. The camp is closed temporarily for new campers interesting in staying at this campground. Questions regarding camping availability at the Washburne campground should be directed to State Parks & Recreation.
A Missing Person bulletin has been prepared and is being distributed and posted at various locations during the day.
ISAAK BENJAMIN GLENN is described as a white male, 3 ft. 6 in. tall, weighing 40 – 45 pounds. He has red hair, brown eyes, and was last seen wearing a blue t-shirt, gray shorts with possible white stripe down each side, and flip-flop style sandals. ISAAK's parents described him as outgoing, smart, friendly and energetic. He enjoys the outdoors but is not considered a risk taker. With his bright red hair, they said he "sticks out in a crowd like a sore thumb."
