The three-year-old disappeared last Friday from the family property near Singleton, in the NSW Hunter Region of Australia. He is autistic and non-verbal.
A large search of the family’s 650-acre (246 hectares) property at Putty had lasted for almost 72 hours and included police, emergency services and volunteers when the miraculous discovery was made. Dramatic vision from a police helicopter revealed the moment the missing boy was spotted, showing the boy appearing to be covered in mud and cupping water from the creek. An officer on board the chopper can be heard saying, “I’ve got the boy” before giving coordinates to those on the ground.
