This past Sunday, three non-verbal autistic children go missing.

They are found within just a few hours.

Bell: Calgary cop heading up search for Parker speaks of the heartbreak and the hope Back to video

The police deal with missing persons every day of the week and they tell us this is what usually happens.

The missing are found and normally found quickly.

But not 11-year-old Parker, a non-verbal autistic boy.

The search continues, the answers don’t come easy, the answers don’t come at all, the pieces of the puzzle don’t fit together.

In fact, they are still looking for the pieces.

Since last Thursday there is one question people hear within themselves and ask each other.

Where is he? Where could that boy possibly be? Parker can’t just disappear.

The question doesn’t go away and is asked just as often now as it was days ago.

You see, as of press time, despite all the effort, despite all the ground covered, all the places searched, all the camera footage examined, all the tips from the public investigated, they have no new information since last Thursday when young Parker went missing.

Usually something comes up. Often someone spots the missing........
