When River Schomaker’s mother, Hollian Markusen, went to check the boy’s bedroom around 6 a.m., she found the 2-year-old’s bed empty.
He was quickly reported missing to the police in Northeast Portland, Oregon. The authorities launched a massive manhunt to search for River. Local officials, FBI agents, police dogs, and over 50 volunteers all searched for the child.
