A big scare for one family in Cordes Lakes over the weekend.
A call came in to the Yavapai County Sheriff’s Office just after noon Saturday from parents saying that their 8 year old son had not been seen in 20 minutes after he did not come inside with his siblings after playing in the yard. YCSO deputies began an initial search and called out land and air support to attempt to locate the boy. Roadblocks were set up in the areas leading into and away from the home on Cactus Wren in Cordes Lakes.
With the assistance of numerous volunteers, YCSO staff and surrounding area first responders, the search continued for five hours until a person called to say that a child that appeared to be lost was in her yard at Hammock Ranch in Cordes Lakes.
The child was unharmed and returned to his parents.
