Missing Michael Joseph Vaughan Update -last seen in his Fruitland neighborhood

 It has been eight months since Michael Joseph Vaughan went missing.

The Fruitland Police Department, the Idaho State Police and the FBI continue to search for the 5-year-old, who has been missing since the evening of July 27, 2021.

“Since then, our investigators continue to work to determine just what happened during the time leading up to Michael’s disappearance. We have received nearly 850 leads and nearly all have been cleared.

We are working through newly obtained data from that time frame and are hopeful that will produce new leads. This is an exhaustive, labor intensive task,” said an update from the Fruitland Police Department on Thursday.

The search for Michael has seen several phases, and after multiple ground searches in and around the area, and across the State of Idaho, police say Michael was likely abducted.

“Although we have been working the potential criminal abduction aspect since the time Michael went missing, it became our primary focus several months ago. Due to the fact that this is a criminal investigation we are limited in the information that can be shared. At this time we have no intention of coordinating another ground search as the entire area has been searched multiple times by local police agencies, professional search and rescue units, community volunteers, helicopters, drones, boats, divers, professional K9 units. These areas have been walked step by careful step and if a credible lead sends us back to that area or to a forest, a field, or anywhere, we will go,” said the police statement.

A white Honda Pilot mentioned by police in an earlier update has not been identified, but police say they feel strongly that we know who it belongs to, and continue to seek confirmation on the vehicle.
