The Strange Disappearance of Ryker Webb…

Today I examine the interesting missing persons case of 3 year old Ryker Webb... on a hot June day, Ryker vanished into the woods near his house, and was missing for over 2 1/2 days... he was found alive and well 2.4 miles away from his house, inside of a shed. How Ryker traversed 2.4 miles of Montana back-country, with no food or water or help... remains a mystery.

Please, please, as a child protection officer, do NOT wait to call when a child is missing, you’re significantly limiting the chance of finding them if you wait. Do not worry about causing a scene, so not worry about “wasting resources”, call, do a quick search, search the areas most likely and call the police. Missing children have a short window of time statistically to be found safe, always call right away.

Poor little dude. He’s only 3 years old but looks like he fought in 3 world wars. I wish he could say what he seen or what happened to him. Glad he was found.

People seriously underestimate how much energy little kids have. I’m a firefighter and a few years ago we were dispatched to a “Search Detail” to assist and neighboring department. Four year old boy, last see in his back yard 30 minutes ago. After an hour of searching for him the cops find him riding his tricycle about 2 1/2 miles away in a different neighborhood. In 90 minutes this little kid rode his tricycle mostly uphill for over 2 miles. He was completely unharmed and the only explanation he gave to the cops was that he was bored. Kids can just do shit like that. It’s crazy.

And that’s the story of a kid I called “Little Lance Armstrong” or more aptly “Little Floyd Landis” since this did happen in Lancaster County, PA.

That image of the little dude in the ambulance is creepy af.

Hello there! I wanted to pass along a missing person's case that has been going on since November 2012. Her name is Fawn Marie Mountain. She has been missing since November 26th 2012. The case has been very mishandled and unfortunately, there has been no justice for her. Long story short, the person of interest has a disturbing past. I highly recommend if you would like to cover this definitely would help to spread the case but would definitely be helpful to the family as well.

Everything about the official report makes sense imo. 2 miles is far but not impossibly far for a kid to walk. He could have survived without food and water for the time he was missing. He also could have found the shed and taken cover there pretty easily too. The weirdest part is the fact that he decided to stay in the shed for over a day. I feel most young kids would have the sense to leave and look for people after a few hours, or even just get bored sitting around doing nothing. The only reason it makes sense to stay hidden there is if he was afraid of something.

That “creepy face” he makes is actually severe dehydration.

[DirtyDanMunicipalMan]

The missing for 2 hours thing isn’t really that suspicious if you think about it. No parent wants to admit their child is gone. I can imagine in the two hours they were both frantically searching around the property and checking everywhere. 2 hours moves fast when you’re stressed and motivated.

Being lost in the WOODS at any time of day especially at night😳as a 20 year old would still haunt me and scare tf out of me - I can’t imagine only being 3 and experiencing something terrible that will never be resolved :/

[lostloser]

Cases like this are kinda weird children between 3 or 4 go missing for no more than 2 days found in places they could never get to themselves and are completely fine. It's weird and they can never really explain what happened because they are kids.

[CHADCONTEXT]

I don't understand the people who think this is a different kid just because he looks scary. They forget what intense stress can possibly do to people even in a short amount of time, a well with dehydratation.

[tristtrist]

Something tells me this story is a lot more darker than it may seem.

[stellabenton]

Someone abducted him period !! Did something to him and left him in shed. Why would he be wearing different clothes? Someone changed his clothes for a reason.

[dabatman]

I like how the official explanation for how a 3 year old got in a shed is that he just did

[nk]

The 2.4 mile distance he walked is super plausible, would've taken an adult around an hour, I reckon a toddler could do it within 4, taking into account wandering and stopping, and definitely in time before the storm hit. Poor lil dude is just dehydrated and petrified, can't we all just be happy he is home safe?

[sebastianvillefrancecasper]

You forgot one key detail that I read about. His father stated when he got home that "That is not the clothes he was in when he went missing" so if that is to be believed then a 3 yr gotes missing for nearly 3 days without food, water or shelter and is completly fine and in other clothes. Keep in mind sudies show that kids aged 2 to 6 shouldn't be kept alone for more then a few hours since we humans are social creatures and young kids starts to learn that, yet he was completely calm about it

[mari_hurrem]

Dehydration, lack of sleep and severe trauma can lead to his appearance. And yes he was missing few days BUT a kids body copes differently from stressors.
😔

[jon-claudevanjamme]

I can't wait for this kid to grow up, recover, and come out about what happened

[BABY..MARS..]

Are people in the comments still theorizing that it isn’t ryker?? You try going through the woods, seeing or hearing stuff that’s terrifying and being covered in dirt and stuff. Ofc he’s gonna look uncanny, he most likely saw stuff he didn’t want to!
Edit: get out of my replies with all your nonsense plz. Some of you are grown adults who make it sound like a child is a skinwalker or a “ changling” grow up. Yes, we don’t know what lurks in the far reaches of our world but that poor child was found in a shed and clearly received some sort of shelter from someone. Plz stop being stupid and actually use your brain

A similar case just happened last month in Clayton Alabama with a 4 yr old autistic child named Phenix Wilkerson. The cases are very similar. When Phenix was found he was clean and didn't look at all like he'd been missing in the woods for 2 days. Regardless of what happened or didn't happen thankfully he and Ryker were both found safe. There's way too many stories like this where it doesn't have a happy ending.
