MCGRADY, N.C. - A 12-year-old Boy Scout missing after three nights in the rugged North Carolina mountains has been found Tuesday morning, NBC News reported.
Around 35 state and federal rangers went out to search for Michael Auberry, and apparently turned up the 12-year-old boy, according to NBC’s Ron Mott.
The news came after dog teams and a plane with heat-sensing equipment found no new clues overnight and about 70 searchers resumed the hunt again Tuesday.
Overnight temperatures were in the upper 30s to low 40s, milder than on Sunday night, when temperatures dropped into the 20s.
Optimism
Earlier, the boy’s father talked about his confidence in the rescue teams searching for his son .
“What we got here is our son, who’s lost, lost somewhere out there, and we don’t know where he is,” Kent Auberry said. “We’ve got great professionals looking for him. We’re just waiting for the news.”
Michael vanished after lunch with his fellow Scouts and troop leaders on Saturday. His father said the adults and the other boys on the trip told him Michael had slept late but nothing appeared to have been wrong.
“Nothing was going on. He was in good spirits,” Auberry said. “He ate lunch, chatting with the boys. He was walking around with I think some Pringles and a mess kit. The next moment, sounds like a blink of the eye, he was gone.”
“There’s no one to blame,” Auberry said.
“They do a great job in the Scouts of educating the kids of what to beware of and tips. I’m hopeful that Michael has taken those to heart,” he said. “I hope he’s hunkered down. I hope he’s found a warm place.”
