Update: Search Continues For Missing Boy, Sex Offenders Interviewed

About 70 volunteers showed up Wednesday to help search for Dominick; people like Melissa Vela and Tara Honeycutt who drove 30 miles to lend their support.

Vela explains, "Saw it on the news this morning and called the sheriff's department to see if they were taking volunteers. As soon as we found out they were we decided to come on up and help."

It was Tuesday afternoon when Dominick's mother says he left their house to go play. Today's THV spoke to her just hours later.

"He went outside and played he came back in and knocked his boots off. He wanted to play in the mud. He walked back outside and just disappeared. It was only about 5 minutes when we noticed anything was up," says Amber Arceneaux.

White Oak Lake is directly behind their home, but Sheriff David Norwood says the boy's mother taught Dominick about water safety and always instructed him to stay away.

Norwood says, "From her indication he is scared of water and wouldn't go around water."

Still though dive teams are searching the lake, but so far there are no clues which are why deputies aren't ruling anything out.

"We are treating it as a drowning. We are treating it as someone may be missing in the woods. We are also treating it as it may be a kidnapping," Norwood explains.

A Morgan Nick Amber Alert has been issued for the 3-year-old, plus deputies spent the day talking with what they call potential suspects. On the list was about 25 different people, but so far those interviews have lead to no leads.

Norwood says, "We are pulling video tapes from all stores, sex offenders that we are interviewing, doing everything we can from all different directions of all different possibilities about what happened."

Meantime, investigators plan to expand their search by ground and by air. Also, they're calling on the community for continued help; people like Deborah Fields who has already spent hours searching and plans to come back on Thursday.

"Prayers, looking. Prayers looking, calling his sweet little name."

The child's father is on his way back to Arkansas from Georgia. Today's THV is told he is in the service there. Meantime, Arkansas State Police and the FBI are also investigating.

The search area is near Chidester which is about 25 miles from the Camden area.

Dominick has brown hair, brown eyes and was last seen wearing blue jean shorts with red stitching on the pockets.
