BOY FOUND ALIVE!

By Monte Mitchell and Sherry Youngquist

Twelve-year-old Michael Auberry, who disappeared from his Boy Scout campsite Saturday afternoon, was found alive this morning.

Tina White, a spokeswoman for the National Park Service, said, "we have received word via radio communication from the field that young Michael has been found."

"We heard this through radio traffic and we’re hopeful this is the news we were waiting for."

Searchers were walking with Michael to reunite him with his parents, she said. He was found Northeast of the campsite from where he wandered away on Saturday.

There was no word yet on his condition.

I did hear on WSJS radio that he was weak and dehydrated, but the fact that he is alive is wonderful news to all concerned. For those of you that haven't heard, Michael was missing from a scout outing in Doughton Park, NC on Saturday.
