man locates missing six-year-old in less than one day using a genius method [Music] we're all waiting for the inevitable day artificial intelligence takes over the world it's only a matter of time before the robots become the alpha species and get their revenge on us naive humans making us their dutiful servants but until that fateful day there are plenty of people who have already found ways to use robotic tech for good when Minnesota resident Steve finds volunteered to help find a missing six-year-old boy he conjured up a plan that was possibly the answer to the search party's frantic desperation with Steve's knowledge of modern photography tools he made the hunt for the little one a dedicated tech infused mission as you send your six-year-old off to school watching the youngin hop on the yellow bus the site undoubtedly comes with a load of nerves but as a parent these little milestones are important to savor no matter how scary right you help your child as a day filled with learning laughs fun and most importantly safety when the house family patiently awaited their young son Ethan's return home from school it never happened understandably panic ensued little did the family know Ethan ran off with his dog Remy after the school bus dropped him off near their house in Becker he just wanted to play with his best bud having no idea what trouble that would cause since Ethan wandered off without notifying an adult his parents imagined every horrible thing that could have possibly gone wrong when he didn't show his precious face at home late that afternoon was he abducted hit by a car the house family called the police which led the Sheriff's Office to spread the word regarding Ethan's disappearance the community wouldn't let the houses down they were going to find their son amazingly more than six hundred people from the Becker area gathered to search for little Ethan with a group of volunteers this large they'd surely find the boy and his pup in no time it wasn't going to be easy however well the search party did everything they could searching far and wide high and low local photographer Steve finds had one more strategic and high-tech method for locating the little one in his collection of equipment the professional photographer had a fancy schmancy drone with a thermal camera that he figured would help tackle the search from an aerial perspective he just needed to know which direction to point the drone in about 8 hours after Ethan went missing volunteers finally spotted some tiny footprints which were suspected to belong to the 6 year old wood that Steve knew which direction to focus is drone on determined to find the boy and Mutt duo after 10 long hours of fiercely searching for the boy finds eventually spotted something with his drone that appeared to be the outlines of Ethan and Remy I'd seen the shape that I thought was child and dog finds explained on kare 11 it didn't look like a deer it didn't look like anything else then the deputy sent out the ground crew to see what it was fine said at the time finds was pretty confident that the frenzied search party was about to end Eureka they found him Ethan was found in a cornfield a little over a mile away from his house at 1:50 a.m. it's a bit too reminiscent of 1984 s children of the corn if you ask us the temperature was already dropping down to the low 30s by the time the group found Ethan in his dog though he was a bit cold lying on the chill ground of cornfield and all paramedics said he was fine 6 years old lost out in the fields it's 30 degrees you can't not do something fine said to kare 11 though fines received a ton of praise for his quick investigating skills he didn't want to take all the credit while I was running the camera that found him and some of the news stories have focused on that I only knew in which direction to look because volunteers on the ground had found a footprint finds wrote on Facebook I knew which areas that already been searched because of the excellent coordination I had other volunteers running radios to coordinate ground search parties people moving across really rough ground to find him he continued well we're sure no one was happier and more relieved than the house family Shelburne County Sheriff Joel brought was elated by the turnout of volunteers that aided in the rescue of little Ethan house this truly was the epitome of the community caring for its own to see the outpouring of support in such a short time to come help find help for this little boy and his dog is heartwarming said sheriff Joel Braun as for Ethan it was a little bit scary he said thankfully this story had a blissful ending the house family got their son and dog back happy and healthy we're sure they haven't yet released a little Ethan from a giant hug Ethan was thankful for his rescue though he knew it could have been much worse for him he'd heard stories about children that were lost in the woods and their drones couldn't spot them what would he have done then [Music]
