Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation describes Ryan Davis’ case disappear as “suspicious”. He disappeared on January 2 and was last seen in the community 40 miles south of Oklahoma City. Authorities said he was staying at a hotel with his family.

“We are still receiving some tips that we are still following up on, but the boy has not been found. We do believe he is still alive at this time, so we are doing everything we can to find him,” McKee told the media last week while discussing the case, where a multi-agency search operation is underway involving drones, dogs and water searches.
“Things have reached frightening proportions. Time is of the essence. We have to find this child.”

“All we want to do is focus on this child, get him the medical care he needs and reassure him, either physically or emotionally, that he will not go back to that environment,” Chickasha Chief Gobert Music said in the same news conference.
Music said that under no circumstances would Davis return to his parents.
Before her arrest, Kimberly Cole publicly thanked those searching for her son in an interview with ABC’s Oklahoma City affiliate grow up.

Over the weekend, search and rescue teams focused their efforts around Burch Lake in Grady County. A volunteer told grow up He is using a drone on the lake to help with the search.
“What I’ve seen so far is that there’s a lot of open space out there, so they’re telling me that RJ does know good camping techniques and was probably camping somewhere, so I’m looking for any sign of anything that he might have left in a tent at the campground,” Kent Jones told the station.
