A 13-year-old Missouri boy missing for more than four days has been found alive in a ravine near his home, but he remains in critical condition after suffering serious injuries, officials confirmed.
Dakota ‘Cody’ Trenkle Jr. was reported missing on Sunday morning after he left home on his skateboard, headed to a friend’s house near the 6400 block of Eagle Lane in the Goose Creek Lake community of St. Francois County.
When Cody failed to arrive, his family frantically turned to social media in hopes of finding clues about their loved one’s mysterious disappearance. With no leads, they contacted local law enforcement, who quickly began circulating flyers for the missing teen.
A large-scale search effort ensued, including members of the St. Francois County Sheriff’s Department, the Missouri State Highway Patrol, and community volunteers.
After days of searching with no success, officials requested assistance from the Farmington Correctional Center K-9 Unit.
On Wednesday, with the help of a trained bloodhound named Daryl, search teams tracked Cody’s scent through dense, rugged terrain.
