Police say they have reviewed roughly 30 tips, knocked on doors and up to 120 volunteers searched for him today. \u201cAfter exhausting all investigative avenues to locate Parker, investigators are turning to the public for their help,\u201d police said in a statement Saturday.<\/p>\n
The Calgary Police Service says significant resources have been dedicated to locating Parker. Investigators, patrol officers and specialized units continue to work around the clock, following every possible lead and searching areas where he may have travelled.<\/p>\n
Search efforts have focused on the communities of Cambrian Heights, Thorncliffe, North Haven, North Haven Upper, Highwood, Highland Park, Greenview, Greenview Industrial Park, Nose Hill Park and surrounding areas.<\/p>\n
Parker\u2019s family released a statement Saturday, describing the anguish they\u2019ve faced since the young boy vanished.<\/p>\n
\u201cSince he went missing, our family has been living every parent\u2019s worst nightmare,\u201d the statement reads. \u201cEvery hour that passes without knowing where he is or whether he is safe has been incredibly difficult for us.\u201d<\/p>\n
The family is asking Calgarians to continue searching for Parker, checking neighbourhoods, parks, green spaces, yards, sheds, garages, hot tubs and other places where he may have sought shelter.<\/p>\n
They noted Parker experiences the world differently and may not respond when his name is called. He can also become frightened when approached by strangers.<\/p>\n
The family is asking anyone who spots Parker not to approach him. Instead, they are urging people to give him space and contact police immediately with his location.<\/p>\n
\u201cA single sighting, a piece of video footage, or one small detail could help bring him home safely,\u201d the statement says.<\/p>\n
The family also thanked community members who have joined the search effort, shared Parker\u2019s photo and provided information to investigators.<\/p>\n
\u201cKnowing that so many people care and are looking for our son has given us strength during the most difficult time of our lives,\u201d the statement reads. \u201cParker is deeply loved, and he is missed immensely. We just want our son home.\u201d<\/p>\n
Police are urging residents to thoroughly search their properties, including garages, sheds, backyards, hot tubs, swimming pools, under decks and other areas where a child may seek shelter or hide. <\/p>\n
Anyone with information about Parker\u2019s whereabouts, or who may have CCTV or dashcam footage, is asked to contact Calgary police at 403-266-1234 or submit information through the online portal.<\/p>\n
