Episode 20 MINI Missing Xavior Harrelson

Gail covers the missing Montezuma Iowa boy, 11 year old Xavior Harrelson, who went missing May 27! The search continues... From the Des Moines Register: Xavior Harrelson's smiling face is everywhere, his dimples shining. Flyers, buttons, billboards and shirts with the 11-year-old's face and description have made their way to states across the country and all over social media. Orange ribbons — a color the Montezuma boy wore frequently, friends say — and posters adorn light posts, homes and local businesses around the rural Poweshiek County town where Xavior was last seen. But there's still no trace of Xavior, a boy known for his smile and kindness and described as "joyous," "remarkable" and "loving." Thursday marked two weeks since he was reported missing from his hometown of Montezuma on May 27. Authorities say they still do not have a "tipping point" in the search to determine whether his disappearance has anything to do with criminal activity. A pool of resources has been deployed across multiple law enforcement agencies in the search. Drones, horses, dogs and other measures have been used in a hunt for Xavior that has stretched into its 15th day. ► More Wednesday: Sheriff announces reward for information on missing Iowa boy On Wednesday, the Poweshiek Sheriff's Office announced a reward of $15,000 and counting for any information that helps investigators locate Xavior. The reward fund was donated by local businesses and community members. The FBI and DCI have also set up a digital media tip line. Anyone who might have digital information regarding Xavior’s disappearance can submit tips, such as videos or pictures, at FBI.gov/FindXavior. And hundreds of family members, friends and strangers have also searched fields and wooded areas in Montezuma. Authorities were told Xavior was last seen the morning of May 27 near the trailer he lived in with his mother on Montezuma's northwest side, Mortvedt said. He was possibly wearing a red T-shirt, blue pajama pants and black high-top shoes. Xavior is 4 feet, 8 inches tall, weighs 100 pounds and has brown hair and blue eyes. He was 10 years old when he went missing, but turned 11 on May 30. LET'S FIND XAVIOR! xoxo Annie & Gail
