Please, please, as a child protection officer, do NOT wait to call when a child is missing, you’re significantly limiting the chance of finding them if you wait. Do not worry about causing a scene, so not worry about “wasting resources”, call, do a quick search, search the areas most likely and call the police. Missing children have a short window of time statistically to be found safe, always call right away.
the sad part is. though. that most police officers don't care. it's fucked up, which is why so many parents are reluctant to call early because cops brush it off.
Poor little dude. He’s only 3 years old but looks like he fought in 3 world wars. I wish he could say what he seen or what happened to him. Glad he was found.
People seriously underestimate how much energy little kids have. I’m a firefighter and a few years ago we were dispatched to a “Search Detail” to assist and neighboring department. Four year old boy, last see in his back yard 30 minutes ago. After an hour of searching for him the cops find him riding his tricycle about 2 1/2 miles away in a different neighborhood. In 90 minutes this little kid rode his tricycle mostly uphill for over 2 miles. He was completely unharmed and the only explanation he gave to the cops was that he was bored. Kids can just do shit like that. It’s crazy. And that’s the story of a kid I called “Little Lance Armstrong” or more aptly “Little Floyd Landis” since this did happen in Lancaster County, PA.
kids are so wild, what is with their genetic coding. i can remember when i was maybe 6, running and absolutely eating shit. my entire leg from ankle to thigh ripped up, my forearms all scraped and cut, my chin scraped and a tooth knocked out and i got up and walked like nothing happened 😭
yeah when i was like 3 or 4 i lived near a forest and i asked my parents if i could walk through the forest (they were talking to someone else and said yes conveniently when I had asked) so i went and wandered around the forest for 3 hours and i came back my parents were crying I didn't really know why at the time 😭
Hello there! I wanted to pass along a missing person's case that has been going on since November 2012. Her name is Fawn Marie Mountain. She has been missing since November 26th 2012. The case has been very mishandled and unfortunately, there has been no justice for her. Long story short, the person of interest has a disturbing past. I highly recommend if you would like to cover this definitely would help to spread the case but would definitely be helpful to the family as well.
i have been investigating these 411s and noticed a patern and folklore behind it known as "skinwalkers" people think theyre demons and ghosts or zombies. but they are quite normal looking if you dont know about them. so basically a skinwalker has the ability to shapeshift into animals during the night. and we have a pack of them that harass us here in Central california and ive called the cops several times when weird sht occurs and they said they are protected because theyre off grid and not in our systems basically they have their own country inside of ours and the cops said they may or may not be working with them. so cool the cops are involved with this but not neccesarily. they know about them but choose to not bother them because they are in on the cannibalism. youll know its a skinwalker if they look like hoodlums walking dogs in forest areas or near by them. if cops cared like they appear to, they would ban them from shopping at food marts so they can be forced into the deeper forests. these beings will take children. people. they dont care. and they can hear thoughts and are NOT normal! all we can do is Pray and Hope JESUS vindicates us like HE Promises! and Hopefully JESUS takes our side and lets us be Free because this nonsense shouldnt exist and its cruel on our future generations of Children! GODBLESS and also i met a skinwalker who goes to my church i would go to. and he showed me a medical report of a "dead injury" from being struck hard by a truck. he was not fased by the truck and he was still skinwalkin and didnt even pursue the driver that hit him. also didnt spend no time at the hospital and appeared to be immune to physical damage. skinwalkers can only be killed by ash covered objects or by silver (im assuming). also they fear fire.
they also have the ability to cause extreme things such as nightmares. astrialprojections and can lure you. its getting weird and our government is just as weird for not doing jack about it. our government KNOWS about them!!!!
creepy sure but i mean you'd look like that too if you got lost in the woods in pitch black in the rain and thunder. never knowing if you would get home or not. no one with you but yourself.
Everything about the official report makes sense imo. 2 miles is far but not impossibly far for a kid to walk. He could have survived without food and water for the time he was missing. He also could have found the shed and taken cover there pretty easily too. The weirdest part is the fact that he decided to stay in the shed for over a day. I feel most young kids would have the sense to leave and look for people after a few hours, or even just get bored sitting around doing nothing. The only reason it makes sense to stay hidden there is if he was afraid of something.
@user-em6nm9kr2r That's the most reasonable explanation! When I was little, if I'd seen a moose, bear, hell, even a large bull Elk I would've been terrified out of my mind. People keep jumping to weird conclusions, it seems.
Cases like this are kinda weird children between 3 or 4 go missing for no more than 2 days found in places they could never get to themselves and are completely fine. It's weird and they can never really explain what happened because they are kids.
Yeah I hear a lot of those stories where strange occurences happen, with both missing kids and adults. They may not all be supernatural but a lot of them kinda seem like they are. I once heard of a story of some guy who went fishing at some frozen lake and then when he didn’t come back they couldn’t find anything but his footprints, and then I think it was the same guy but he somehow ended up in a different place in someone else’s clothes. My memory of the story is a bit blurry because it was awhile ago, but it’s eerie that something like that could happen and the harsh weather somehow appearing as soon as a search party is released to look for them is weird too. I’m not trying to jump to conclusions, but all of those old missing cases are strange. I think it being supernatural or extraterrestrial is a possibility , because it seemed like some of the stories they just disappeared into thin air without having any possible explanation of how, and those who have managed to come back they always had some strange story to tell.
@@warhead213what if they were kidnapped and the kidnapper/s timed it with the bad weather, so the kids freeze to death and can’t tell on them… a bit of a stretch but not impossible but who knows, hopefully they don’t get trauma blocked memory so they can tell what happened
@@EyelessAugust The kids are usually found alive, in a place that is difficult for rescuers to traverse and reach, let alone a child. The child is always too young to ever really describe what happened to them or how they ended up where they were.
The missing for 2 hours thing isn’t really that suspicious if you think about it. No parent wants to admit their child is gone. I can imagine in the two hours they were both frantically searching around the property and checking everywhere. 2 hours moves fast when you’re stressed and motivated.
Yeah, you always want to make sure the kid isnt just hiding or stuck or playing in some random spot. At his age I'd disappear all the time, no joke a few of the places my parents eventually found me included: hiding inside of a wall I'd shimmied down after getting into the attic, sitting under the deck because it was cool and breezy down there, in the crawl space because i was trying to catch rats like our cat, and inside of a couch.
Someone abducted him period !! Did something to him and left him in shed. Why would he be wearing different clothes? Someone changed his clothes for a reason.
I don't understand the people who think this is a different kid just because he looks scary. They forget what intense stress can possibly do to people even in a short amount of time, a well with dehydratation.
The 2.4 mile distance he walked is super plausible, would've taken an adult around an hour, I reckon a toddler could do it within 4, taking into account wandering and stopping, and definitely in time before the storm hit. Poor lil dude is just dehydrated and petrified, can't we all just be happy he is home safe?
Dehydration, lack of sleep and severe trauma can lead to his appearance. And yes he was missing few days BUT a kids body copes differently from stressors. 😔
@@foreverpainful he was definitely dehydrated... in the image at 11:54 in the video you can see that his lips are very thin compared to the other, normal images of him. His eyes also look wider as his skin was suffering from dehydration and lack of sleep. As for malnourishment, he is a 3 year old kid, they are all pudgy so his body will have used that fat to survive.
Most likely his brain may block out the trauma, if something serious happened, but it would be pretty cool to hear about it if he does remember (and is willing to share of course)
@silly8045 how old was the kid when he came out about it on tiktok ? I'm talking when this kid is like 25 - 30 so it can be taken more seriously. I'm not gonna go watch it but if his mom was there in the video too, to me it screams cover up. The other guy made a good point with the trauma block but that's exactly why I wanna see him way older bcuz sometimes ppl remember those traumatic events
You forgot one key detail that I read about. His father stated when he got home that "That is not the clothes he was in when he went missing" so if that is to be believed then a 3 yr gotes missing for nearly 3 days without food, water or shelter and is completly fine and in other clothes. Keep in mind sudies show that kids aged 2 to 6 shouldn't be kept alone for more then a few hours since we humans are social creatures and young kids starts to learn that, yet he was completely calm about it
to be fair kids can be crafty. I was a bit older then him and learned how to shimmy down inside of walls that didnt have a top plate in the attic so they were just open up there and a few times my dad used me to "break" into houses (our own home, a friends home, and a customers home all with permission after he got locked out), once by slipping through an open vent block in a foundation to get into the crawl space and get in through a crawl space access hatch in a closet, another time by climbing onto a covered deck to get to an open 2nd story window, and another time by my dad just shoving me through an open window. Turns out builders dont usually plan for 4 year old cat burglars so i was able to slip into some crazy places. I also once snuck into our neighors house because it had a deck added which covered an old basement window they never bothered to lock and i figured out how to get in and out of their house to play with their kids without the parents knowing by crawling under the deck, prying the window open with a toy screw driver, and then slipping into the basement before sneaking through the house into the kids rooms where we'd play in secret before I'd sneak back home. Kind of surprised i never became a burglar.
@@dabatman5187 that's logical. He was a pizza dealing man sized robotic rat. There's a reason why Five Nights At Freddy's is such an iconic horror franchise.
@@dabatman5187 I was scared of a friendly guy in spider man costume when he approached me to say hi on the town square. I still remember that 16 years later and I feel sorry for him
Being lost in the WOODS at any time of day especially at night😳as a 20 year old would still haunt me and scare tf out of me - I can’t imagine only being 3 and experiencing something terrible that will never be resolved :/
Are people in the comments still theorizing that it isn’t ryker?? You try going through the woods, seeing or hearing stuff that’s terrifying and being covered in dirt and stuff. Ofc he’s gonna look uncanny, he most likely saw stuff he didn’t want to! Edit: get out of my replies with all your nonsense plz. Some of you are grown adults who make it sound like a child is a skinwalker or a “ changling” grow up. Yes, we don’t know what lurks in the far reaches of our world but that poor child was found in a shed and clearly received some sort of shelter from someone. Plz stop being stupid and actually use your brain
A similar case just happened last month in Clayton Alabama with a 4 yr old autistic child named Phenix Wilkerson. The cases are very similar. When Phenix was found he was clean and didn't look at all like he'd been missing in the woods for 2 days. Regardless of what happened or didn't happen thankfully he and Ryker were both found safe. There's way too many stories like this where it doesn't have a happy ending.
Ryker eating the bugs he found along the way is the most likey explanation on how he survived. His face looking like that would be from dehydration, causing hallucinations of a "bear"
@@3rd-eye-neenja563Could very well have just been due to his expression. His head is tilted and he’s smiling in the pre-ordeal picture, making his face appear smaller and more circular. However, post-ordeal, his jaw is slightly slack and the muscles around his mouth are more relaxed, allowing his face to appear more oval-like. Plus his head is faced front instead of tilted up, so the perspective also plays a part
You gotta take a look on missing kids in southeast asia. Multiple cases really bugged me off. There was this one kid, an innocent religious kid. He got lost in a thick forest. Later then, the rescue team found him and had a conversation with him. He was stated that he was lost for like 2 hours, but little did he know he was lost for 4 WHOLE DAYS. How is that possible? How was he not noticed day and night? did he slept? Same case as Ryker, his whole facial appearance changed. The case I mentioned weren't the only ones, there are multiples I heard of.
It’s nearly impossible to find out information regarding Asia ( or people within) because information isn’t even granted to the people within Asia. Much less to the outside, with it being state controlled.
In Japan there was a similar case too, I think the boy was missing for a few days?? in the wood but come out completely unfazed, calm and don't have any dirt or wound whatsoever. Some people speculate it's already a different entity lol
There was a podcast episode from Mysterious Universe I listened to a really long time ago, unfortunately it's paywalled now but it was about disembodied voices that call to you from the woods or forest. A lot of people have reported hearing a family member or someone they know calling their name in the forest, asking them to come to them. Some people have reported that they've gone in the woods, and haven't recognized anything, said it only felt like a few hours that they were walking in the woods when it's really been days that they were gone. It's really really ominous and scary imo. It's very similar to missing 411 cases and it makes me wonder if the woods/forest don't house something supernatural or otherworldly that we don't know about. It can take people into seemingly other dimensions.
Growing up in the suburbs I wouldn't like the idea of being out in the woods for 2 or 3 days, lost, an unprepared as an grown adults.. I couldn't imagine being 10 or under and being lost in the woods. Poor kid
Oh no.. just been plenty of times I've got in trouble as a kid for flipping rocks over looking for bugs and not putting them back in the right place.. 😅
Yeah the idea that a child that young could travel 2 miles on foot and then be missing for 3 days and not be dehydrated or more stressed is really SUS..
There's something oddly comforting about the theory that it was a friendly cryptid that thought the kids were in danger and was trying to protect them.
@@sippyisspicybutsogodjust leave them be. lots of people believe in it due to them seeing it themselves or hearing about it, so as long as they’re not harming anyone, can’t do much
@@accioyoongianecdotes don’t apply here. Believing in some fairytale gives false hope, some people will think that their kid is fine because that’s where their mind goes first. So yeah it does cause harm.
There was actually a case where a child, abandoned by his mother in the woods, was found petting a bear by an adult man. The child also said that the bear took care of him so the possibility of a bear taking care of him are slim but very possible.
This my guess, I’m guessing that the mama bear mistook the child for a cub and took care of him for days and then left him in a shed away from predators so she could come back with food
The speculation I heard, as someone from the area that I heard from other locals, was that the parents are known drug users, who were passed out and found their child gone 2 hours later. It’s wild to me all these theories of crazy things that could’ve happened, when we all figured he went wandering, got lost, and kept going in the wrong direction. It’s REALLY easy to get turned around in the woods, even when you don’t go that far. Everyone was just happy he was found alive and mostly unharmed.
On top of that, his own parents got his age wrong, he was 4 not 3, and later admitted they didn’t remember what he was wearing. If it makes you feel better the family dog DID go out looking for him, he was caught on the neighbors camera leaving and then later returning home, probably why he seemed so stressed.
Yeah I still find the story of him wandering off and ending up in the shed to avoid the rain most likely. He kept saying 2.4 miles like that’s an impossible distance despite that being around a 45 minute walk. He could’ve covered that distance easily in the 2 days he was missing. Also the parents getting details wrong could just be from the stress and likely lack of sleep from it all.
What really interests me is that usually when people get lost in the woods, no matter how hard they try to walk straight, they usually end up walking in circles. The fact that Ryker managed to walk 2.4 miles away in a seemingly straight shot to someone else’s shed really doesn’t sit right with me
2.4 miles is a really short distance though. It is when you reach super high distances spanning across 10s of miles that it might happen. And walking in circles actually just means crossing your own path, it doesn't mean ending up right where you started.
@@A40Charmer some said it's a completely different kid, and I don't blame them! But his hair is too similar for me to agree. I think he looks that way because of whatever happened in the woods
@@DrowzyDrawsFacial proportions seem similar too (distance of eyes from one another, how low the ears are on the head, lip shape, and like you said - the hair)
"Why not just search for ten minutes and then call" I ran away from home when I was little and was gone for almost a whole day until I went back home. They mocked me and barely even considered calling the police. I bring that up for context, two hours sounds to me like a thorough search, and they still showed concern for the little fella.
This is like saying it's okay to kill a person with a knife because it's worse to kill them with a bomb... Both are bad. Just cuz one is worse doesn't mean the other is completely okay and dandy. This is a stupid comparison in my opinion, sorry
@@seekervaltriz9447 These parents left Ryker be missing for 2 hours before getting help. You think this is good and responsible, just because YOUR parents left you for way longer than that. Surely I'm not misunderstanding?
@@Scriblyn I think their responsibility was lacking for leaving him alone in the first place. But I see the two hours if anything as a thorough search. They should have called earlier, but it seems they SEARCHED. Which was my point. Comparing that to murder is just... What?
I live in Montana, it’s scary to think that things like this happen even in small rural towns where people everyone knows everyone. People are usually very kind here, saying hello to people you pass by on the sidewalk is a must, when you’re driving on a dirt road and you pass someone coming the opposite direction you wave with a smile. When things like these happens it truly is a wake up call. I have had a friend be murdered just a few blocks away from my home. But the forests are especially dangerous, I have another friend who had been attacked by a grizzly bear and lived. But that is usually just the way things are in the forest, not how people act.
it’s unsurprising how jarred he looks by it all. i hope he didn’t experience anything traumatic and im glad he was found okay. it’s still so unsettling how far he was though
It’s called the “thousand-yard stare”.. It’s chilling. That happens when people are witness to something traumatic, so high chance Ryker saw or experienced something terrible and traumatic
I did the math and it's actually reasonable that ryker could reach the shed before it started raining. An average toddler walks at between 1.3 and 2.6 kph, I figured that 1.8 would be a good baseline, converted it to 1.1 mph which is 5808 feet per hour, and an average toddler from ages 3-4 can walk for between 2 to 3 hours before tiring out, seeing as ryker was walking and playing, he likely could walk a bit faster than my baseline, meaning he could have reached the shed in between 2.5 to 3 hours.
ryker webb is the main character, as he gets older and stronger he'll get peices of memories from when he went missing, and discover more about his past
@@kenzielowe5011 it makes more sense than him being kidnapped, not suffering any injuries, being found alive and unharmed, not telling anybody about it, and acting only slightly afraid. It’s not that far fetched to say he survived. He was in the shed, he drank rainwater, and he lived. If you don’t think that makes the most sense you’re insane or a conspiracy theorist. In which case you’d also be insane.
@@jakedematteo2172Yep. Super realistic that a toddler who could barely walk stumbled 2.4 miles and somehow got into a closed shed and survived for 2 days without food or water.
@@mantlechannel1390 walking 2.4 miles really isn’t that far, even for a toddler. When you’re scared, you can do incredible things. Even if it was that far, it’s more realistic than a kidnapping with no evidence. You just don’t know anything about children honestly.
Rykers Adventure In The Woods. Chapter 1.The Yard (Unknown Creature) Ryker was in his yard looking for bugs when someone walked out from the shadows from the woods that looked like his dad walked up to him telling him to follow him in a creepy harsh voice, obviously Ryker was confused because his dad was inside looking for something. Nonetheless Ryker followed, the creature that looked like his dad told the dog to stay there in a horrible voice almost sounding not human, him and his "dad" were walking into the woods when Ryker noticed something off about his "dad" something strange but he couldn't quite tell, as his "dads" neck twitched side to side Ryker was more sure than ever whatever was with him was not his dad, but he was too scared to run. Chapter 2. Heavy Storm (The Shed) After awhile of walking the strange creature gave Ryker some weird looking food, he dare not anger the creature, as Ryker ate the food he noticed some rocks laying nearby, curious he flips them to see if there were any bugs, Ryker notices the creature looking at him, he got scared and quickly continued to follow the creature. After a little while longer of walking they come across a shed, *it starts raining heavy* so they walk inside, with the door shut behind them. him and the creature were at opposite sides of the shed, the creature looking more and more disfigured as *the creature breaths heavy* and it scares the boy, they wait out the rain, Chapter 3. Day 1 (The Shed) The next day, Ryker had fell asleep without realizing it, he told himself he wouldn't fall asleep, as he looked around he noticed the spot where the creature lurked had scratch marks all over the walls, the door slammed shut, Ryker tries to open the door but it won't open, he closes his eyes wishing it was all just a dream but when he opened his eyes he was still there in that horrible place. Chapter 4. Night (The Shed) Hours go by as Ryker feel his sanity slipping away from him. The sun goes down as Ryker hears screaming from outside. horrified, he runs to the corner of the shed as he cries for someone to save him, But no one came. A few minutes pass by and Ryker notices a weird sound, almost like crunching. He hears the sounds getting closer, heavy breathing almost as if it were right behind him. He trys to fall asleep hoping it will go away. The sound stops abruptly, as Ryker slowly falls asleep, his eyes closing shut. Chapter 5. Day 2 (The Shed) He wakes up to something so horrifying words can't explain how scared Ryker is, a creature with its head twisted upside down covered in blood watches Ryker intently looking at his every move. As it seems the creature will jump out at Ryker at any moment, but nothing happens. Just watching him, as Ryker is about to scream but nothing happens. Too shocked to make a peep, he watches as the creature starts to turn around as it violently smashes its head into the wall over and over again. The creature stops and walks to a corner of the room walking on all fours, like a disfigured skinned animal it makes incoherent mumbling as it says "help me" and starts to shake violently and then stops almost lifeless, something from the roof slowly grabbing the dead body as it dissappears into the shadows. Loud munching sounds can be heard outside Chapter 6. Escape (The Shed) Yet another day except this time Ryker didn't sleep, slowly going insane. Ryker scratches at the door with his last bit of strength as he desperately trys to escape. He hears people coming closer to the shed, as the door gets forced open. Ryker appears alone in the shed Ryker thinks to himself "am i saved?" as Ryker slowly forgeting everything that had taken place... almost as if it never happened, or did IT?
This whole story is suspicious to me. Did a blood test get done from ryker? He looks like a different kid? Why did he have different clothes on? What did that little boy see in them woods? And with the people who found him in their shed? What happened to him? The terrified look on his face is terrifying to me wish we could hear in his own words what truly happened to him cos no way this child walked 2.4 miles just cos he was bored? Nothing makes sense
They did a dna test and it was him also he has different clothes bc in the before photo was from another time- in the video the guy said that before Ryker left he was wearing the same dino jumpsuit
In Australia our most memorable lost child was 4 year old Steven Walls in 1960 who was lost in the thick bush in the middle of our hot summer for four days when searchers found him alive and seemingly well. Back in those days there was very little consideration for mental health and Steven would've been taken to hospital, fluids and food given, scratches and bruises attended to then sent home to live his life. No pyschological help. What must their little minds go through during that terrifying time lost? I'm pretty sure Steven never married. He stayed on the family farm and died in his early 60s. One childhood friend claims Steven told him he had no memory at all of being lost. Being 4 one would think he'd remember. The mind's a funny thing. I hope Ryker and his parents get all types of support.
Personally what I think happens was Ryland traveled around a mile from his home. A storm started and then he panicked and started aimlessly running for hours out of fear. In this time he fell and slipped in mud explaining his scratches and bruises. He then found a shed and slept in it for 10 to 12 hours. When he woke up he was probably scared to reveal himself because he thought he wasn’t supposed to be on some stranger’s property. The rest is history let me now what you think happened.
ok the original photo of ryker before he went missing was taken when he was 1, the creepy photo was a picture of him 2 years later, he obviously would look different after 2 years.
Its either a skinwalker or sum or dehydration, i see the eye color is different and the clothes changed, and if he disappeared in the woods without anything he couldn’t have changed his clothes
@@LORD_DARTH_VADER_66Goofy ahh meme consumer believes in skinwalkers and thinks that a missing kid was swapped by a non-existing demon 😭😭 bro got take a shower i can’t stand your smell
for real, things like this never really scare me but that photo genuinely disturbs and scares me so much that while i was watching, i made a big effort to not see the picture at all, like genuinely i REALLY dont like it, ive even started tearing up now just because it disturbs me that much, not even joking
you should NEVER leave your child that young unattended under NO circumstances. "Several minutes" could be life or death for a child that young... I am surprised the parents were never held accountable for this.
Its sort of a combination of not thinking it would happen untill it does as well as them trusting their animal to keep watch over him and possibly them being in a 'safer' area so to speak. Hell I was nearly a missing kids report when i was 5 or 6 (cant remember specific year) after chasing after the family dog into the woods and that was with my mother taking my eyes off of me for like 3 minutes tops, sometimes kids are young and because of that dum and will find the slightest crack of time to dissapear, not out of parents neglect, just kids not thinking sensibly
exactly/ like yes most kidnappers are known to the child but kidnappers very much do randomly nab children and adults. a lot harder with CCTV but in small towns i, sure its still common. many stories of people not walking anymore bc so,eone tried to take them off the street. abductors r still very real

Honestly that ambulance pic looks like a three-year-old trying to smile for a picture. Sometimes they haven’t figured out a natural smile yet and look a little uncanny. 2.5 miles is a *ways* but even slowly walking only a few hours coulda passed. It’s highly possible he wandered around, found the shed and hid from the storm then was either stuck or smart enough/too scared to leave it.
I agree. 2.4 miles isn’t far especially for two days. He looks hungry and tired in my opinion. I truly think he was just wandering around for two days lol
I applaud the sheriff here.I'm from the neighboring state.He did as much as he could. He responded immediately and threw everything he could at it. I'm training a Mustang for searching rescue. She was born in this terrain, and she has a hard time going 2.5 miles over rough land like is in that county. This poor little face breaks my heart. This specific case actually is what inspired me to get my mustang going faster in training.
May 2021 my 3 yr old daughter went missing in southeast kentucky for around 27 hours from her grandmas porch. She was found 2.1 miles thru the roughest terrain wearing only a pair of pants. It was raining heavy so they called off the dogs and the helicopters and the volunteers.
What was her condition when found? Where was she found? Were you able to get any information from her about what happened during that time? I have a 3 year old boy who is very smart but doesn’t have the vocabulary to always explain things to me but he’s a thinker so he does his best and most of the time we can piece it together to understand what he’s trying to convey. So I’m super curious about that part in particular.
personally, i dont think that is ryker. yes, he could’ve wondered off while the dog wasnt looking (but yes this could be him). but someone cannot change that much over 2 days. and every ambulance picture has him in truck pajamas, not dinosaur pajamas. its a head scratcher to be honest.
why is there no information on what the first boy said to his parents or anyone when they found him. Surely his parents and the sheriffs asked him some questions...
that pic scared me back when i was 15/16 when this all happened. im 18 now and a paramedic student myself, but that image still invokes the same feeling of panic in me now as it did back then.
Me when I see a girl with big boobs and my eyes go out and my jaw drops all the way down to the floor on the ground because I see the girl walk by and that's why I did that
literally the 1000 yard stare. this is so so common in kids who have freshly experienced some sort of trauma. I swear on my life this was not a harmless disappearance.. this kid is DISTRESSED. He saw something. I think someone took him, abused him in the shed, and left him there. It is hard to know for sure but is so so so confusing..
Me when I see a girl with big bobs and and bobs are huge and my jaw goes all the way to floor on the ground and my eyes pop out like a Looney Toones and I go crazy like the Tasmanian Devil from the Looney Tunes cartoon and start barking like the dog
Yeah, the fact that the family dog was outside with the child and didn’t follow him is very strange. If one of my nieces or nephews were hanging out outside at my house and they walked off my dog would absolutely follow them. 100% he adores them. ❤🇨🇦
same with my rottweiler. She'd follow kids everywhere and would even try to alert the adults if kids got outside of our field of view. She was really friendly but strangers getting near kids was when she stopped acting like a teddy bear and started acting like a grizzly bear though, i once saw a delivery driver nearly crap his pants when a friends toddler was over and he went running towards the delivery guy and my rottweiler just glared at him, luckily she walked in the kids way so he coulnt get near the driver and she didnt bark so she wouldnt upset the kid but the driver still looked at that kid like he was wearing a bomb vest ready to kill him the second he got too close and made a wide detour to stay as far away as possible. Wish i could claim credit for training her but rottweilers are natural protectors and love kids so she just learned all that on her own.
Crazier thing is that, in italy, one year before this an episode SOO similar happened. Like a kid, not even two years old, "escaped" directly from his bed and walked for like 1.5 miles (he wasnt even 2 years old) in the woods and he was found alicw two days after by a tv reporter
this same story has happened a few times. There was a similar boy in the US, forget which state, who went missing and they found his jacket miles away and nobody could figure out how a toddler managed to walk for miles in the snow through rather rough terrain.
Other reports say that it was a neighbor that called the police after the dad told them that the kid had been missing for 2 hours. I'm thinking that Dad hadn't been watching the kid at all.
If the last time you saw your three year old boy was in the front yard before he magically vanished and you wait any longer than 5 minutes before calling the authorities for help you should be arrested for neglect, That’s just my opinion tho 💁🏻♂️
2 hours may seem suspicious but maybe he was doing a thorough search around the property, and neighborhood. I agree 2 hours to report a 3 year old missing is suspicious, but sometimes when out under major stress you find it harder to focus. Do I think the Dad could have reported it earlier. Absolutely, and he should have. But also 2 hours out of the 48 hours he was missing, was not long. But long enough for it to be suspicious that he didn't report it earlier.
@@Elikai-Eli that was my first thought too. I grew up in a rural area and when i was his age i'd disappear a LOT so my parents always checked the house, checked my favorite spots around the property and my favorite hiding spots, and checked the neighbors and that all takes time. It's logical to at least look around first, especially since in rural areas it can take an hour or more for a cop to show up, more time to get a whole search team together. Calling 911 immediately makes sense in the city and maybe the suburbs but in rural areas you might have an acre or more of land plus a barn, shed, etc in addition to the house so there's tons of places for a kid to be without even leaving the property. In a city and the suburbs you've basically just got a yard that takes 30 seconds to check and the house itself so you can check everything in minutes.
The reason should be obvious, sometimes wild animals BEARS included will "adopt" a baby partically a female bear and will care for it as its own, its fully possible that a couple of female bears just see a toddler playing by itself and will naturally try to care for it if it resembles their baby, there are cases of this happening to wild animals and female bears take the cubs and treat them as their own, so perhaps these female bears in the woods see these toddlers, and think its an abandoned bear cub and take it in like its own, feeding it and carrying them. Which explains why the kids seem to travel far quickly, its possible the bear put Ryker there in the shed to protect him from the storm and feed him, just like the second case brought up.
Good point, but I think it would be difficult for bears to open a shed. Especially since the shed might have been bear proof if there are a lot of bears in the area
why is it everyone is assuming he got to the shed before the storm? what if he was out in the pitch black forest covered in freezing rain walking around aimlessly trying to find any signs of shelter. he could of even slept in that storm for all we know. besides, he was shell shook, kids dont just become shell shocked from being lost... and again , it was pitch black, maybe he found the small light of the shed from the distance. but my theory is that he spent the full night out so who knows,
yes i know that... i never said i dont think he didnt end up in the shed, im fully aware of what happened, and my theory isnt a professional one so dont think to much into mine!@@Theoaktreee42069
@@wfr878I think he meant how it’s wholesome that the creatures have motherly instincts - feeling like they need to protect a possibly endangered child.
This and the other story mentioned heavily remind me of another missing case about a little girl. She was missing *in the woods* for *three days,* and when they found her, she claimed that she had only been away picking berries for a couple hours and never saw the sun set... I really feel there's something paranormal going on in these woods that targets little kids...
I actually was a kid with an experience like this! I went missing for about 20 minutes when I was 2. We were moving into a new house so there was no furniture or boxes or anything and my mom was focusing on the cable guy. They checked every single cabinet, room, closet, etc. when my mom was outside calling the police, I walked into view giggling. I can't remember any of this of course, I was 2, but it gives me this dread of what could've happened to me
the dog thing is the weirdest thing that happened out of everything though... if the dog WAS anxious because something or someone "took" ryker, then the dog would've been barking or attacking that "someone". But no articles said that the dog started barking. And it's also not possible that the dog left ryker, or ryker somehow got the dog to stop following him, since dogs instinctively protect the most vulnerable members of its pack, that being - the smallest, which is ryker.
i think when the kid said a bear helped i think it was just a person, but since kids have a great imagination, he must have thought it was a animal of some sort, not knowing what a kidnapper is. Edit: MOM IM FAMOUS
A video about this cake up out nowhere I watched it and had to know more. So here I am. But I might be going to reddit bc the video I just watch and this one the stories have a few differences so. Now idk which one to belive😹
His brother used to have a tiktok but he left it because of all the attention and in one of the videos he asked rhyker what happened and he said that a man looked after him and gave him food than put him in the shed, the big foot theory might just be what happened although I'm to to sure yet, but he says he was taken care of and put in the shed so this is a possibility
That image of him after he was found isn't just creepy, it's fucking haunting. It just doesn't look like a 3 year old little boy, more like something possessing the body of one and doing its best to pretend to be one
i know, right? i feel like it’s definitely not ryker, especially the fact he wasn’t wearing that outfit when he went missing- also the eyes before & after look like different colours which is strange?
if the parents were to make a police report after a short amount of time, would they take it seriously? i feel if they got a call that a child was missing for 10 ish minutes, they would not make it a priority. or do police takes these cases seriously even after 10 minutes?
I don’t know what was going through their minds, but it’s a common thought that you have to wait two days to report someone missing. Now if it was my child, I would be calling right away if he wasn’t there after searching the property.
While 2 hours may seem long, they probably just assumed he went deeper into the forest and searched there themselves, checked with friends and relatives, honestly its a pretty reasonable time to wait to call the police. Not suspicious at all
@@gamingstraz I think it’s suspicious since I know that my parents would freak out and call for help immediately if I was of that age. But I guess that’s just my parents that loves me so much Also that’s a baby, two hours for that young of a child is a very very long time. a baby can’t get far by themselves at all. Therefore when they didn’t find him after like half an hour MAX they should’ve definitely called if not right away Since not finding him in such a long period of time would indicate in a kidnapping or abduction. Which should just made them want to call more in my opinion. And like you might know when you wait to call when someone goes missing ur significantly limiting the chance of finding them alive. Missing children have a short window of time statistically to be found safe. Also who would leave their baby outside by themselves for multiple minutes without watching them? Sounds so suspicious, and caring loving parents wouldn’t leave their young child alone outside neither wait TWO HOURS to call for help when they suddenly go missing outside.
@@bdawg1118 I think that’s just if it’s an adult that can take care of themselves, a baby however, I don’t think you have to wait two days to call…. You should definitely not wait to call
@@Mollytelma You don’t have to wait two days for an adult either. That’s why I was saying it’s a common thought. People also think you have to wait two days for children. Although that’s extremely dangerous. It’s because some cops will tell you that, and it spread like wildfire so people are nervous to call too early.

There is a missing case in my town for a little boy named Elijah, the mom dropped him off by the side of the road next to a forest. Police have been searching for 11 days. The parents are in custody on a 15k bond. We have still not found elijah
@@johnnyknadler1157 Maybe it was a Hansel and Gretel situation and their village was hit with a famine so they had to set the kid loose in the wild to survive off whatever gingerbread homes the kid can find in the woods.
Super rough and possibly grasping at straws, but here's my theory: Ryker wanders out of his yard and into the woods or alongside the road. If the family dog was trained to stay within the yard using an electric fence/ collar, it would not have followed ryker. Kidnapper spots ryker and picks him up, keeps him for 1-2 days. Kidnapper has regrets or second thoughts and wants to get rid of Ryker but doesn't want to kill him or turn himself in, so he asks a friend or family member (owners of the shed) if he can leave Ryker there and instructs them to pretend to find him. The kidnapper would probably use some kind of blackmail to get the owners to comply, or convince them that they'll look like heroes. Kidnapper drops off Ryker in the shed and he is left there until the owners "discover" him.
yes!! this is the only sensible theory i've seen in the comments here, it happens all too often that kids are abducted. it's totally feasible that some horrible individual took him for a few days then left him somewhere once their conscience caught up with them, also why the dog wouldn't follow/ would be shocked and nervous if some stranger quickly took the child. maybe the owners of the shed really didn't know though as people genuinely might not check all over their property thoroughly.
@@thefool671 thank you!! I know it's kind of shotty because it's possible that the owners of the shed aren't involved, since in rural areas people usually have huge properties and may not have a reason to go into a shed very often. But I wouldn't leave a child that I kidnapped on someone else's property because almost everyone has cameras nowadays! I feel like the kidnapper has to be connected to the owners of the shed somehow
Dehydration, lack of sleep and severe trauma can lead to his appearance. And yes he was missing few days BUT a kids body copes differently from stressors. .
Why didnt he talk about the change in clothes? I think that is the biggest part of this case. It could have been a miracle that he wondered to somewhere like that but how did he get the blue pajamas? If hes 3 he couldnt have changed himself and if someone saw him to change him they would let the sheriff know they found him.
My personal theory is that his parents were pretty neglectful and didn’t notice him getting taken or just weren’t watching him for an extended period of time. Maybe someone kidnapped him and kept him warm and fed and gave him water but abducted him for the purpose of sexual abuse, maybe when he was done with that he dropped him off at that shed and told him never to tell anyone what happened instead of killing him or keeping him around which would have been a lot of work to keep him hidden and prevent him from escaping as he got older
No that is correct, this case is one of the most infuriating cases I’ve ever heard of because nobody ever mentioned if tests were done on his neather regions in case of foul play, How is a 3 year old boy supposed to open a shed door and close it behind him? Don’t be ridiculous this is a little boy who was taken, Played with by some disgusting human being and left in a shed

Please, please, as a child protection officer, do NOT wait to call when a child is missing, you’re significantly limiting the chance of finding them if you wait. Do not worry about causing a scene, so not worry about “wasting resources”, call, do a quick search, search the areas most likely and call the police. Missing children have a short window of time statistically to be found safe, always call right away.

People seriously underestimate how much energy little kids have. I’m a firefighter and a few years ago we were dispatched to a “Search Detail” to assist and neighboring department. Four year old boy, last see in his back yard 30 minutes ago. After an hour of searching for him the cops find him riding his tricycle about 2 1/2 miles away in a different neighborhood. In 90 minutes this little kid rode his tricycle mostly uphill for over 2 miles. He was completely unharmed and the only explanation he gave to the cops was that he was bored. Kids can just do shit like that. It’s crazy.
And that’s the story of a kid I called “Little Lance Armstrong” or more aptly “Little Floyd Landis” since this did happen in Lancaster County, PA.
kids are so wild, what is with their genetic coding. i can remember when i was maybe 6, running and absolutely eating shit. my entire leg from ankle to thigh ripped up, my forearms all scraped and cut, my chin scraped and a tooth knocked out and i got up and walked like nothing happened 😭
A 3 year old and a 4 year old are miles apart in what their bodies can do.
Thanks for the story

yeah when i was like 3 or 4 i lived near a forest and i asked my parents if i could walk through the forest (they were talking to someone else and said yes conveniently when I had asked) so i went and wandered around the forest for 3 hours and i came back my parents were crying I didn't really know why at the time 😭
Hello there! I wanted to pass along a missing person's case that has been going on since November 2012. Her name is Fawn Marie Mountain. She has been missing since November 26th 2012. The case has been very mishandled and unfortunately, there has been no justice for her. Long story short, the person of interest has a disturbing past. I highly recommend if you would like to cover this definitely would help to spread the case but would definitely be helpful to the family as well.
Thanks for sharing about it. It's nice you're trying to get the word out💟
i have been investigating these 411s and noticed a patern and folklore behind it known as "skinwalkers" people think theyre demons and ghosts or zombies. but they are quite normal looking if you dont know about them. so basically a skinwalker has the ability to shapeshift into animals during the night. and we have a pack of them that harass us here in Central california and ive called the cops several times when weird sht occurs and they said they are protected because theyre off grid and not in our systems basically they have their own country inside of ours and the cops said they may or may not be working with them. so cool the cops are involved with this but not neccesarily. they know about them but choose to not bother them because they are in on the cannibalism. youll know its a skinwalker if they look like hoodlums walking dogs in forest areas or near by them. if cops cared like they appear to, they would ban them from shopping at food marts so they can be forced into the deeper forests. these beings will take children. people. they dont care. and they can hear thoughts and are NOT normal! all we can do is Pray and Hope JESUS vindicates us like HE Promises! and Hopefully JESUS takes our side and lets us be Free because this nonsense shouldnt exist and its cruel on our future generations of Children! GODBLESS and also i met a skinwalker who goes to my church i would go to. and he showed me a medical report of a "dead injury" from being struck hard by a truck. he was not fased by the truck and he was still skinwalkin and didnt even pursue the driver that hit him. also didnt spend no time at the hospital and appeared to be immune to physical damage. skinwalkers can only be killed by ash covered objects or by silver (im assuming). also they fear fire.
they also have the ability to cause extreme things such as nightmares. astrialprojections and can lure you. its getting weird and our government is just as weird for not doing jack about it. our government KNOWS about them!!!!

how tf dude his face even get like that I have seen missing kids and their faces never look like that
Everything about the official report makes sense imo. 2 miles is far but not impossibly far for a kid to walk. He could have survived without food and water for the time he was missing. He also could have found the shed and taken cover there pretty easily too. The weirdest part is the fact that he decided to stay in the shed for over a day. I feel most young kids would have the sense to leave and look for people after a few hours, or even just get bored sitting around doing nothing. The only reason it makes sense to stay hidden there is if he was afraid of something.
an animal he saw perhaps? like a bear? I would scared to if I saw a bear.
Yeah that’s what I was thinking 2.4 miles in a day even as a 3 year old isn’t that crazy.
@user-em6nm9kr2r That's the most reasonable explanation! When I was little, if I'd seen a moose, bear, hell, even a large bull Elk I would've been terrified out of my mind.
People keep jumping to weird conclusions, it seems.
I mean if he is afraid he could have been staying there out of fear. Also, as a 3 year old in the woods it's probably pretty frightening
Yea. Um waht about the change of clothes??.
Cases like this are kinda weird children between 3 or 4 go missing for no more than 2 days found in places they could never get to themselves and are completely fine. It's weird and they can never really explain what happened because they are kids.
The whole Missing 411 cases and the mysterious phenomenon surrounding them is freaky.
Also don’t forget the inclement weather. It seems to be a pattern after the disappearances
Yeah I hear a lot of those stories where strange occurences happen, with both missing kids and adults. They may not all be supernatural but a lot of them kinda seem like they are. I once heard of a story of some guy who went fishing at some frozen lake and then when he didn’t come back they couldn’t find anything but his footprints, and then I think it was the same guy but he somehow ended up in a different place in someone else’s clothes. My memory of the story is a bit blurry because it was awhile ago, but it’s eerie that something like that could happen and the harsh weather somehow appearing as soon as a search party is released to look for them is weird too.
I’m not trying to jump to conclusions, but all of those old missing cases are strange. I think it being supernatural or extraterrestrial is a possibility , because it seemed like some of the stories they just disappeared into thin air without having any possible explanation of how, and those who have managed to come back they always had some strange story to tell.
@@warhead213what if they were kidnapped and the kidnapper/s timed it with the bad weather, so the kids freeze to death and can’t tell on them… a bit of a stretch but not impossible but who knows, hopefully they don’t get trauma blocked memory so they can tell what happened
@@EyelessAugust The kids are usually found alive, in a place that is difficult for rescuers to traverse and reach, let alone a child. The child is always too young to ever really describe what happened to them or how they ended up where they were.
The missing for 2 hours thing isn’t really that suspicious if you think about it. No parent wants to admit their child is gone. I can imagine in the two hours they were both frantically searching around the property and checking everywhere. 2 hours moves fast when you’re stressed and motivated.
Yeah, you always want to make sure the kid isnt just hiding or stuck or playing in some random spot. At his age I'd disappear all the time, no joke a few of the places my parents eventually found me included: hiding inside of a wall I'd shimmied down after getting into the attic, sitting under the deck because it was cool and breezy down there, in the crawl space because i was trying to catch rats like our cat, and inside of a couch.
Have to disagree with that last sentence. 2 hours can seem like an eternity for a stressed parent who's searching for their child

I like how the official explanation for how a 3 year old got in a shed is that he just did
to be fair kids can be crafty. I was a bit older then him and learned how to shimmy down inside of walls that didnt have a top plate in the attic so they were just open up there and a few times my dad used me to "break" into houses (our own home, a friends home, and a customers home all with permission after he got locked out), once by slipping through an open vent block in a foundation to get into the crawl space and get in through a crawl space access hatch in a closet, another time by climbing onto a covered deck to get to an open 2nd story window, and another time by my dad just shoving me through an open window. Turns out builders dont usually plan for 4 year old cat burglars so i was able to slip into some crazy places. I also once snuck into our neighors house because it had a deck added which covered an old basement window they never bothered to lock and i figured out how to get in and out of their house to play with their kids without the parents knowing by crawling under the deck, prying the window open with a toy screw driver, and then slipping into the basement before sneaking through the house into the kids rooms where we'd play in secret before I'd sneak back home. Kind of surprised i never became a burglar.

However, post-ordeal, his jaw is slightly slack and the muscles around his mouth are more relaxed, allowing his face to appear more oval-like. Plus his head is faced front instead of tilted up, so the perspective also plays a part

You gotta take a look on missing kids in southeast asia. Multiple cases really bugged me off. There was this one kid, an innocent religious kid. He got lost in a thick forest. Later then, the rescue team found him and had a conversation with him. He was stated that he was lost for like 2 hours, but little did he know he was lost for 4 WHOLE DAYS. How is that possible? How was he not noticed day and night? did he slept? Same case as Ryker, his whole facial appearance changed. The case I mentioned weren't the only ones, there are multiples I heard of.
It’s nearly impossible to find out information regarding Asia ( or people within) because information isn’t even granted to the people within Asia. Much less to the outside, with it being state controlled.
The story of the frog boys has always bothered me.
What was the name of the religious kid? That case sounds so eerie
In Japan there was a similar case too, I think the boy was missing for a few days?? in the wood but come out completely unfazed, calm and don't have any dirt or wound whatsoever. Some people speculate it's already a different entity lol
There was a podcast episode from Mysterious Universe I listened to a really long time ago, unfortunately it's paywalled now but it was about disembodied voices that call to you from the woods or forest. A lot of people have reported hearing a family member or someone they know calling their name in the forest, asking them to come to them. Some people have reported that they've gone in the woods, and haven't recognized anything, said it only felt like a few hours that they were walking in the woods when it's really been days that they were gone. It's really really ominous and scary imo. It's very similar to missing 411 cases and it makes me wonder if the woods/forest don't house something supernatural or otherworldly that we don't know about. It can take people into seemingly other dimensions.
I like how you really got to the point and story right away.
Growing up in the suburbs I wouldn't like the idea of being out in the woods for 2 or 3 days, lost, an unprepared as an grown adults.. I couldn't imagine being 10 or under and being lost in the woods. Poor kid
Oh no.. just been plenty of times I've got in trouble as a kid for flipping rocks over looking for bugs and not putting them back in the right place.. 😅
Yeah the idea that a child that young could travel 2 miles on foot and then be missing for 3 days and not be dehydrated or more stressed is really SUS..
@@ConservativeSatanist666 he is dehydrated tho, you can see it on his lips.
There's something oddly comforting about the theory that it was a friendly cryptid that thought the kids were in danger and was trying to protect them.

@@accioyoongianecdotes don’t apply here. Believing in some fairytale gives false hope, some people will think that their kid is fine because that’s where their mind goes first. So yeah it does cause harm.
@@sippyisspicybutsogod deadass most of the fuckin comments. youtube kids are fucked in the head these days.
There was actually a case where a child, abandoned by his mother in the woods, was found petting a bear by an adult man. The child also said that the bear took care of him so the possibility of a bear taking care of him are slim but very possible.
This my guess, I’m guessing that the mama bear mistook the child for a cub and took care of him for days and then left him in a shed away from predators so she could come back with food
The speculation I heard, as someone from the area that I heard from other locals, was that the parents are known drug users, who were passed out and found their child gone 2 hours later. It’s wild to me all these theories of crazy things that could’ve happened, when we all figured he went wandering, got lost, and kept going in the wrong direction. It’s REALLY easy to get turned around in the woods, even when you don’t go that far. Everyone was just happy he was found alive and mostly unharmed.
On top of that, his own parents got his age wrong, he was 4 not 3, and later admitted they didn’t remember what he was wearing. If it makes you feel better the family dog DID go out looking for him, he was caught on the neighbors camera leaving and then later returning home, probably why he seemed so stressed.
Yeah I still find the story of him wandering off and ending up in the shed to avoid the rain most likely. He kept saying 2.4 miles like that’s an impossible distance despite that being around a 45 minute walk. He could’ve covered that distance easily in the 2 days he was missing. Also the parents getting details wrong could just be from the stress and likely lack of sleep from it all.
What really interests me is that usually when people get lost in the woods, no matter how hard they try to walk straight, they usually end up walking in circles. The fact that Ryker managed to walk 2.4 miles away in a seemingly straight shot to someone else’s shed really doesn’t sit right with me
Well, as someone who was lost in the woods as a child, I really did go mostly completely straight. It’s just a thing that can happen. Nothing crazy.
@BlackSheepNara likely story!
2.4 miles is a really short distance though. It is when you reach super high distances spanning across 10s of miles that it might happen. And walking in circles actually just means crossing your own path, it doesn't mean ending up right where you started.
I feel like he got kidnapped bc it seems unlikely for a three year old to walk 2.4 miles on little legs and walking straight as a three year old
@@hugos3947not that short for a 3 year old, those guys take forever just to cross the street

What?
I live in Montana, it’s scary to think that things like this happen even in small rural towns where people everyone knows everyone. People are usually very kind here, saying hello to people you pass by on the sidewalk is a must, when you’re driving on a dirt road and you pass someone coming the opposite direction you wave with a smile. When things like these happens it truly is a wake up call. I have had a friend be murdered just a few blocks away from
my home. But the forests are especially dangerous, I have another friend who had been attacked by a grizzly bear and lived. But that is usually just the way things are in the forest, not how people act.

@@SoIlovescats Found the skinwalker
I did the math and it's actually reasonable that ryker could reach the shed before it started raining. An average toddler walks at between 1.3 and 2.6 kph, I figured that 1.8 would be a good baseline, converted it to 1.1 mph which is 5808 feet per hour, and an average toddler from ages 3-4 can walk for between 2 to 3 hours before tiring out, seeing as ryker was walking and playing, he likely could walk a bit faster than my baseline, meaning he could have reached the shed in between 2.5 to 3 hours.
ryker webb is the main character, as he gets older and stronger he'll get peices of memories from when he went missing, and discover more about his past

Rykers Adventure In The Woods.
Chapter 1.The Yard (Unknown Creature)
Ryker was in his yard looking for bugs when someone walked out from the shadows from the woods that looked like his dad walked up to him telling him to follow him in a creepy harsh voice, obviously Ryker was confused because his dad was inside looking for something. Nonetheless Ryker followed, the creature that looked like his dad told the dog to stay there in a horrible voice almost sounding not human, him and his "dad" were walking into the woods when Ryker noticed something off about his "dad" something strange but he couldn't quite tell, as his "dads" neck twitched side to side Ryker was more sure than ever whatever was with him was not his dad, but he was too scared to run.
Chapter 2. Heavy Storm (The Shed)
After awhile of walking the strange creature gave Ryker some weird looking food, he dare not anger the creature, as Ryker ate the food he noticed some rocks laying nearby, curious he flips them to see if there were any bugs, Ryker notices the creature looking at him, he got scared and quickly continued to follow the creature. After a little while longer of walking they come across a shed, *it starts raining heavy* so they walk inside, with the door shut behind them. him and the creature were at opposite sides of the shed, the creature looking more and more disfigured as *the creature breaths heavy* and it scares the boy, they wait out the rain,
Chapter 3. Day 1 (The Shed)
The next day, Ryker had fell asleep without realizing it, he told himself he wouldn't fall asleep, as he looked around he noticed the spot where the creature lurked had scratch marks all over the walls, the door slammed shut, Ryker tries to open the door but it won't open, he closes his eyes wishing it was all just a dream but when he opened his eyes he was still there in that horrible place.
Chapter 4. Night (The Shed)
Hours go by as Ryker feel his sanity slipping away from him. The sun goes down as Ryker hears screaming from outside. horrified, he runs to the corner of the shed as he cries for someone to save him, But no one came. A few minutes pass by and Ryker notices a weird sound, almost like crunching. He hears the sounds getting closer, heavy breathing almost as if it were right behind him. He trys to fall asleep hoping it will go away. The sound stops abruptly, as Ryker slowly falls asleep, his eyes closing shut.
Chapter 5. Day 2 (The Shed)
He wakes up to something so horrifying words can't explain how scared Ryker is, a creature with its head twisted upside down covered in blood watches Ryker intently looking at his every move. As it seems the creature will jump out at Ryker at any moment, but nothing happens. Just watching him, as Ryker is about to scream but nothing happens. Too shocked to make a peep, he watches as the creature starts to turn around as it violently smashes its head into the wall over and over again. The creature stops and walks to a corner of the room walking on all fours, like a disfigured skinned animal it makes incoherent mumbling as it says "help me" and starts to shake violently and then stops almost lifeless, something from the roof slowly grabbing the dead body as it dissappears into the shadows. Loud munching sounds can be heard outside
Chapter 6. Escape (The Shed)
Yet another day except this time Ryker didn't sleep, slowly going insane. Ryker scratches at the door with his last bit of strength as he desperately trys to escape. He hears people coming closer to the shed, as the door gets forced open. Ryker appears alone in the shed
Ryker thinks to himself "am i saved?" as Ryker slowly forgeting everything that had taken place... almost as if it never happened, or did IT?
the hellish picture of wide eyed terror of Ryker after being recovered is almost unreal
dehydration + starvation + exhaustion + possible trauma
This whole story is suspicious to me. Did a blood test get done from ryker? He looks like a different kid? Why did he have different clothes on? What did that little boy see in them woods? And with the people who found him in their shed? What happened to him? The terrified look on his face is terrifying to me wish we could hear in his own words what truly happened to him cos no way this child walked 2.4 miles just cos he was bored? Nothing makes sense
Yeah they did a dna test and its the same kid
Wow that’s crazy what if he isn’t the same kid 😂
Here's some idea that probably never came to mind your yet:kidnapping
They did a dna test and it was him also he has different clothes bc in the before photo was from another time- in the video the guy said that before Ryker left he was wearing the same dino jumpsuit
@@PhilipibesGrandmaProof?
In Australia our most memorable lost child was 4 year old Steven Walls in 1960 who was lost in the thick bush in the middle of our hot summer for four days when searchers found him alive and seemingly well.
Back in those days there was very little consideration for mental health and Steven would've been taken to hospital, fluids and food given, scratches and bruises attended to then sent home to live his life. No pyschological help.
What must their little minds go through during that terrifying time lost? I'm pretty sure Steven never married. He stayed on the family farm and died in his early 60s. One childhood friend claims Steven told him he had no memory at all of being lost.
Being 4 one would think he'd remember. The mind's a funny thing.
I hope Ryker and his parents get all types of support.
Dude just wandered and kept wandering, give him some credit, he's fast and has endurance
I dont think he traveled by himself someone took him
his normal picture smiling is so cute, poor little man 😔
Personally what I think happens was Ryland traveled around a mile from his home. A storm started and then he panicked and started aimlessly running for hours out of fear. In this time he fell and slipped in mud explaining his scratches and bruises. He then found a shed and slept in it for 10 to 12 hours. When he woke up he was probably scared to reveal himself because he thought he wasn’t supposed to be on some stranger’s property. The rest is history let me now what you think happened.
ok the original photo of ryker before he went missing was taken when he was 1, the creepy photo was a picture of him 2 years later, he obviously would look different after 2 years.
doesn't explain the 1000 yard stare

you should NEVER leave your child that young unattended under NO circumstances. "Several minutes" could be life or death for a child that young... I am surprised the parents were never held accountable for this.
Its sort of a combination of not thinking it would happen untill it does as well as them trusting their animal to keep watch over him and possibly them being in a 'safer' area so to speak. Hell I was nearly a missing kids report when i was 5 or 6 (cant remember specific year) after chasing after the family dog into the woods and that was with my mother taking my eyes off of me for like 3 minutes tops, sometimes kids are young and because of that dum and will find the slightest crack of time to dissapear, not out of parents neglect, just kids not thinking sensibly
exactly/ like yes most kidnappers are known to the child but kidnappers very much do randomly nab children and adults. a lot harder with CCTV but in small towns i, sure its still common. many stories of people not walking anymore bc so,eone tried to take them off the street. abductors r still very real

Honestly that ambulance pic looks like a three-year-old trying to smile for a picture. Sometimes they haven’t figured out a natural smile yet and look a little uncanny. 2.5 miles is a *ways* but even slowly walking only a few hours coulda passed. It’s highly possible he wandered around, found the shed and hid from the storm then was either stuck or smart enough/too scared to leave it.
I agree. 2.4 miles isn’t far especially for two days. He looks hungry and tired in my opinion. I truly think he was just wandering around for two days lol
That is actually really comforting to think about but the scars and little spots of blood don’t add up with that

What was her condition when found? Where was she found? Were you able to get any information from her about what happened during that time? I have a 3 year old boy who is very smart but doesn’t have the vocabulary to always explain things to me but he’s a thinker so he does his best and most of the time we can piece it together to understand what he’s trying to convey. So I’m super curious about that part in particular.
personally, i dont think that is ryker. yes, he could’ve wondered off while the dog wasnt looking (but yes this could be him). but someone cannot change that much over 2 days. and every ambulance picture has him in truck pajamas, not dinosaur pajamas. its a head scratcher to be honest.
why is there no information on what the first boy said to his parents or anyone when they found him. Surely his parents and the sheriffs asked him some questions...
That’s what I wanna know too

Ryker in the ambulance is literally terrifying 😊
Yeah, the fact that the family dog was outside with the child and didn’t follow him is very strange. If one of my nieces or nephews were hanging out outside at my house and they walked off my dog would absolutely follow them. 100% he adores them. ❤🇨🇦
same with my rottweiler. She'd follow kids everywhere and would even try to alert the adults if kids got outside of our field of view. She was really friendly but strangers getting near kids was when she stopped acting like a teddy bear and started acting like a grizzly bear though, i once saw a delivery driver nearly crap his pants when a friends toddler was over and he went running towards the delivery guy and my rottweiler just glared at him, luckily she walked in the kids way so he coulnt get near the driver and she didnt bark so she wouldnt upset the kid but the driver still looked at that kid like he was wearing a bomb vest ready to kill him the second he got too close and made a wide detour to stay as far away as possible. Wish i could claim credit for training her but rottweilers are natural protectors and love kids so she just learned all that on her own.
The dog actually did try to find him it was found on camera footage
The dogs I grew up w/ never would have done that 😂
Yea that's what I'm saying. Maybe somebody put him in a car bc ikdogs don't follow cars
Admittedly, I know next to nothing about this child. At the same time, I'm confident in saying bigfoot didn't kidnap him.
it is possible that a big hairy man kidnapped him idk know tho
"the helicopter went home" is such a funny sentence that I wasn't expecting to hear today.
Crazier thing is that, in italy, one year before this an episode SOO similar happened. Like a kid, not even two years old, "escaped" directly from his bed and walked for like 1.5 miles (he wasnt even 2 years old) in the woods and he was found alicw two days after by a tv reporter
1.5 miles isn’t far….most toddlers can walk by 1 1/2 years. And 1.5 miles over a 2 span day isn’t far at all
this same story has happened a few times. There was a similar boy in the US, forget which state, who went missing and they found his jacket miles away and nobody could figure out how a toddler managed to walk for miles in the snow through rather rough terrain.
Other reports say that it was a neighbor that called the police after the dad told them that the kid had been missing for 2 hours. I'm thinking that Dad hadn't been watching the kid at all.
If the last time you saw your three year old boy was in the front yard before he magically vanished and you wait any longer than 5 minutes before calling the authorities for help you should be arrested for neglect, That’s just my opinion tho 💁🏻♂️
@@HiddenUsersMeaning Agreed. Waiting 2 hours at ANY age is sus.
2 hours may seem suspicious but maybe he was doing a thorough search around the property, and neighborhood. I agree 2 hours to report a 3 year old missing is suspicious, but sometimes when out under major stress you find it harder to focus. Do I think the Dad could have reported it earlier. Absolutely, and he should have. But also 2 hours out of the 48 hours he was missing, was not long. But long enough for it to be suspicious that he didn't report it earlier.
@@Elikai-Eli that was my first thought too. I grew up in a rural area and when i was his age i'd disappear a LOT so my parents always checked the house, checked my favorite spots around the property and my favorite hiding spots, and checked the neighbors and that all takes time. It's logical to at least look around first, especially since in rural areas it can take an hour or more for a cop to show up, more time to get a whole search team together. Calling 911 immediately makes sense in the city and maybe the suburbs but in rural areas you might have an acre or more of land plus a barn, shed, etc in addition to the house so there's tons of places for a kid to be without even leaving the property. In a city and the suburbs you've basically just got a yard that takes 30 seconds to check and the house itself so you can check everything in minutes.
dad did something.
The reason should be obvious, sometimes wild animals BEARS included will "adopt" a baby partically a female bear and will care for it as its own, its fully possible that a couple of female bears just see a toddler playing by itself and will naturally try to care for it if it resembles their baby, there are cases of this happening to wild animals and female bears take the cubs and treat them as their own, so perhaps these female bears in the woods see these toddlers, and think its an abandoned bear cub and take it in like its own, feeding it and carrying them. Which explains why the kids seem to travel far quickly, its possible the bear put Ryker there in the shed to protect him from the storm and feed him, just like the second case brought up.
Both cases resided in areas notably with LOTS of BEARS
Good point, but I think it would be difficult for bears to open a shed. Especially since the shed might have been bear proof if there are a lot of bears in the area
@@CottonCandy_11then the kid got there himself while the bear was taking care of him

why is it everyone is assuming he got to the shed before the storm? what if he was out in the pitch black forest covered in freezing rain walking around aimlessly trying to find any signs of shelter. he could of even slept in that storm for all we know.
besides, he was shell shook, kids dont just become shell shocked from being lost... and again , it was pitch black, maybe he found the small light of the shed from the distance. but my theory is that he spent the full night out so who knows,

This and the other story mentioned heavily remind me of another missing case about a little girl. She was missing *in the woods* for *three days,* and when they found her, she claimed that she had only been away picking berries for a couple hours and never saw the sun set...
I really feel there's something paranormal going on in these woods that targets little kids...
Agreed.
I actually was a kid with an experience like this! I went missing for about 20 minutes when I was 2. We were moving into a new house so there was no furniture or boxes or anything and my mom was focusing on the cable guy. They checked every single cabinet, room, closet, etc. when my mom was outside calling the police, I walked into view giggling. I can't remember any of this of course, I was 2, but it gives me this dread of what could've happened to me
@@CharacteristicLizardw pfp
the dog thing is the weirdest thing that happened out of everything though... if the dog WAS anxious because something or someone "took" ryker, then the dog would've been barking or attacking that "someone". But no articles said that the dog started barking. And it's also not possible that the dog left ryker, or ryker somehow got the dog to stop following him, since dogs instinctively protect the most vulnerable members of its pack, that being - the smallest, which is ryker.
i think when the kid said a bear helped i think it was just a person, but since kids have a great imagination, he must have thought it was a animal of some sort, not knowing what a kidnapper is.
Edit: MOM IM FAMOUS
yeah
yeah and possibly the kidnapper could of told him he was a bear or tell him to say a bear helped him, it would make sense
Kids r extremely easy to manipulate so this is probably the best bet
@@1enica ya
Or to appeal to the kids, dressed in a bear costume to make themself seem harmless to the child but is actually a kidnapper
I just saw the pic of him chilling after he was found, on Reddit. Now I'm here.

A video about this cake up out nowhere I watched it and had to know more. So here I am. But I might be going to reddit bc the video I just watch and this one the stories have a few differences so. Now idk which one to belive😹
Seen his cute face being rescued on RUclips shorts. ❤
“chilling”
@@Unbound_Soul7cute face
Yeah… cute..
His brother used to have a tiktok but he left it because of all the attention and in one of the videos he asked rhyker what happened and he said that a man looked after him and gave him food than put him in the shed, the big foot theory might just be what happened although I'm to to sure yet, but he says he was taken care of and put in the shed so this is a possibility
Little kids are way tougher and more resilient then people think.
That image of him after he was found isn't just creepy, it's fucking haunting. It just doesn't look like a 3 year old little boy, more like something possessing the body of one and doing its best to pretend to be one
its a really good plot for a horror movie tbh
Real life online girlfriend logic
@@goofyicerink9560 You’d like the movie orphan, but I won’t tell you what’s wrong with Ester
i know, right? i feel like it’s definitely not ryker, especially the fact he wasn’t wearing that outfit when he went missing- also the eyes before & after look like different colours which is strange?
@@curlywurlyprincessthey dna tested him
The thumbnail got me screaming....but this is rlly sad
Thanks for giving me nightmares from that picture of Ryker

Insensitive
A 3 year old wouldn't mind eating bugs that he was looking for. That might have kept him alive.
if the parents were to make a police report after a short amount of time, would they take it seriously? i feel if they got a call that a child was missing for 10 ish minutes, they would not make it a priority. or do police takes these cases seriously even after 10 minutes?
17:25 I don't understand why I find this still in the video so distressing. It actually makes me anxious to look at
why?
Liminal feeling, Context, perspective of a predator, biological instinct to help little kids, etc
oh ok
Waiting 2 hours is actually wild. Makes me kinda suspicious of the parents…
I don’t know what was going through their minds, but it’s a common thought that you have to wait two days to report someone missing. Now if it was my child, I would be calling right away if he wasn’t there after searching the property.
While 2 hours may seem long, they probably just assumed he went deeper into the forest and searched there themselves, checked with friends and relatives, honestly its a pretty reasonable time to wait to call the police. Not suspicious at all
@@gamingstraz I think it’s suspicious since I know that my parents would freak out and call for help immediately if I was of that age. But I guess that’s just my parents that loves me so much
Also that’s a baby, two hours for that young of a child is a very very long time.
a baby can’t get far by themselves at all. Therefore when they didn’t find him after like half an hour MAX they should’ve definitely called if not right away
Since not finding him in such a long period of time would indicate in a kidnapping or abduction. Which should just made them want to call more in my opinion.
And like you might know when you wait to call when someone goes missing ur significantly limiting the chance of finding them alive. Missing children have a short window of time statistically to be found safe.
Also who would leave their baby outside by themselves for multiple minutes without watching them?
Sounds so suspicious, and caring loving parents wouldn’t leave their young child alone outside neither wait TWO HOURS to call for help when they suddenly go missing outside.
@@bdawg1118 I think that’s just if it’s an adult that can take care of themselves, a baby however, I don’t think you have to wait two days to call…. You should definitely not wait to call
@@Mollytelma You don’t have to wait two days for an adult either. That’s why I was saying it’s a common thought. People also think you have to wait two days for children. Although that’s extremely dangerous. It’s because some cops will tell you that, and it spread like wildfire so people are nervous to call too early.
I'm only 5 minutes into the video but this is why we need homes with security cameras. They help immensely.
Great video Jared. Amazing coverage of a truly bizarre case. Keep grinding, eventually you will get this channel to where Broogli is. Much love brother
Appreciate that so much dude.
That image of him in the ambulance is burned into my mind and is terrifying, something else
yeah..
Me too, it haunts me.. It scares me what Ryker went through.
Yes
the pic of the kid in the ambulance is truly haunting
There is a missing case in my town for a little boy named Elijah, the mom dropped him off by the side of the road next to a forest. Police have been searching for 11 days. The parents are in custody on a 15k bond. We have still not found elijah
How about now?
@@cronomorphx no so far... it's been 2 weeks bit his parents are in jail
Why the mom drop him off next to a forest???
@johnnyknadler1157 at the moment I am unsure
@@johnnyknadler1157 Maybe it was a Hansel and Gretel situation and their village was hit with a famine so they had to set the kid loose in the wild to survive off whatever gingerbread homes the kid can find in the woods.
Super rough and possibly grasping at straws, but here's my theory:
Ryker wanders out of his yard and into the woods or alongside the road. If the family dog was trained to stay within the yard using an electric fence/ collar, it would not have followed ryker.
Kidnapper spots ryker and picks him up, keeps him for 1-2 days.
Kidnapper has regrets or second thoughts and wants to get rid of Ryker but doesn't want to kill him or turn himself in, so he asks a friend or family member (owners of the shed) if he can leave Ryker there and instructs them to pretend to find him. The kidnapper would probably use some kind of blackmail to get the owners to comply, or convince them that they'll look like heroes.
Kidnapper drops off Ryker in the shed and he is left there until the owners "discover" him.
The owners of the shed were completely cleared. Completely. Hate starts to happen to people where it doesn’t belong when others spread misinformation.
@@Sleepparalysisdemon2 I didn't know that but I'm very glad to hear it!!
yes!! this is the only sensible theory i've seen in the comments here, it happens all too often that kids are abducted. it's totally feasible that some horrible individual took him for a few days then left him somewhere once their conscience caught up with them, also why the dog wouldn't follow/ would be shocked and nervous if some stranger quickly took the child. maybe the owners of the shed really didn't know though as people genuinely might not check all over their property thoroughly.
@@thefool671 thank you!! I know it's kind of shotty because it's possible that the owners of the shed aren't involved, since in rural areas people usually have huge properties and may not have a reason to go into a shed very often. But I wouldn't leave a child that I kidnapped on someone else's property because almost everyone has cameras nowadays! I feel like the kidnapper has to be connected to the owners of the shed somehow
@@thefool671the dog actually did follow him according to camera footage
Dehydration, lack of sleep and severe trauma can lead to his appearance. And yes he was missing few days BUT a kids body copes differently from stressors. .
Why didnt he talk about the change in clothes? I think that is the biggest part of this case. It could have been a miracle that he wondered to somewhere like that but how did he get the blue pajamas? If hes 3 he couldnt have changed himself and if someone saw him to change him they would let the sheriff know they found him.
That’s so true!
they probably changed his clothes in the ambulance, maybe ?
@@asizaharie nope he was found in new clothes and his dad said those werent the clothes he got lost in so his dad didnt believe it was ryker.
If a kid want to get somewhere, they will get somewhere. Its scary how many places a kid can get into given enough time and determination
My personal theory is that his parents were pretty neglectful and didn’t notice him getting taken or just weren’t watching him for an extended period of time. Maybe someone kidnapped him and kept him warm and fed and gave him water but abducted him for the purpose of sexual abuse, maybe when he was done with that he dropped him off at that shed and told him never to tell anyone what happened instead of killing him or keeping him around which would have been a lot of work to keep him hidden and prevent him from escaping as he got older
Also weird at the fact I think the parents said the clothes he was found in were not the clothes he went missing in. I could be wrong but
No that is correct, this case is one of the most infuriating cases I’ve ever heard of because nobody ever mentioned if tests were done on his neather regions in case of foul play, How is a 3 year old boy supposed to open a shed door and close it behind him? Don’t be ridiculous this is a little boy who was taken, Played with by some disgusting human being and left in a shed
You must be an Aussie surely? from the east coast?, never heard anyone else say 'but' at the end of the sentence aside from Aussies from the south east of Australia. I love it, no criticism here. G'day from West Australia wherever you are in the world❣
Then someone took him a 100%. A 3 year-old can't do that it's so SUS
with the internet cultured speaking and things like that can get spread to all parts of the globe. I like it too, makes everthing more diverse and fun
@@zed4225
@@HiddenUsersMeaningI honestly think he was found in the woods by a hiker or something just taking a walk, was took to a shed where he was kept and fed and watered (enough) until he was found.
I just find it weird that if my theory is right, why wasn’t he being kept in their house instead of a random shed far away from any houses.
the kid in the ambulance is unsettling
Bro people don’t understand like imagine the fear that poor baby must’ve felt.
In Malaysia..there s lots of story missing peoole im the woods...they following something into the woods..that "something" called "Bunian".....
