 3:20 p.m. As of 2 p.m., counted from all three staging locations, there were 1,687 volunteers. The 3 p.m. search will continue, and they plan to cover much of the same ground, just to be sure.

As one group of volunteers finished their shift, Boise Officer Kip Wills thanked them.

"No matter what, this is still a missing child," he said. "Your efforts are not wasted, they're not in vain. It's easy to get jaded."

"Officers have been out working for six days, but we're parents, too. If it were our kid, we would want everyone to be out looking."

Police: Robert May Be Victim of Tragic Event

For the first time, Boise Police admit missing 8-year-old boy Robert Manwill's disappearance is suspicious.  At a press conference this afternoon, Deputy Chief Jim Kerns revealed police found evidence to indicate Robert may be injured or the victim of a tragic event.  Police would not say what evidence they found.

Also today, a crime scene van was seen at the Ada County Landfill.  A portion of the landfill was marked off with crime scene tape.  Boise Police will not confirm or deny if the crime scene van is related to the search for Robert Manwill.

Police showed up at the apartment complex on the Boise bench where Robert Manwill lives late last night and stayed until the early hours of this morning.

Police did tow away a car belonging to the family and removed several bags of items from the home. It's unclear exactly what was in the bags.

Today's developments did not stop the massive search for Robert Manwill.  Hundreds of people responded to the public call for volunteers to help look for evidence.

An Ada County sheriff's deputy has been asked to guard a portion of the Hidden Hollow Landfill for Boise police and make sure nothing is disturbed. A spokeswoman said the officer sent drives a crime scene investigation truck.

The officer has cordoned off a section of the dump — people are still taking trash to other parts of the landfill.

Thanks Leroy. My computer and google maps don't like each other. If someone else could find a map, that would be great.

Thanks Leroy. My computer and google maps don't like each other. If someone else could find a map, that would be great.

Mine doesn't get along with google maps, either, pink angel.  I'm hoping to replace it some day soon.

Hopefully, someone will be able to find one.  You are all doing a great job posting info.

It doesn't seem like the outcome will be as we all hoped.

Police investigating the disappearance of an Idaho boy missing for a week said Friday they are afraid the child may have been the victim of a tragedy.

Boise authorities told reporters that there are "suspicious circumstances" surrounding 8-year-old Robert Manwill's disappearance.

"Robert may be injured or be the victim of a tragic event," said Boise Police Chief Jim Kerns at a brief Friday press conference. "But he is still missing."

Earlier this week, news emerged that Robert's mother is on probation for fracturing the skull of the missing boy's infant half brother, who was removed from her custody by the state.

I'm not good with maps and would have no idea how to post the actual map...here is a link to the one I just did...maybe it will work???  I'll give it a whirl...

this is devestating, it completely breaks my heart. i think that we all have that sick feeling in our hearts and stomach because we all know what the result of this case is going to be.  i try to be optimistic but i just don't think this is going to turn out well.  especially since part of the landfill has been blocked off and is being guarded. 

if the boyfriend was hospitalized and released it could be because he had an injury that could have occured during this crime if he's responsible, or another scenario could be that he had an anxiety attack or something along those lines...

i am so sad and disgusted right now. i pray robert gets the justice he deserves

3:27 p.m.

Boise police say they don't plan to have another update until noon Saturday.

If developments call for an additional briefing, the media will be notified, spokeswoman Lynn Hightower said.

Thanks Leroy! 

WTF is wrong with people?  Did they not think that splitting the scull of the infant would be grounds to remove ALL THE CHILDREN????

I'm with you sunshine12, just beyond words.

I'm secretly hoping that the boyfriend was hospitalized because BPD whooped his a$$ in an attempt to get him to talk.

Hope this works.

Hi Lovin!  I agree...this so called mother shouldn't be allowed alone with children EVER.

All these children going missing is just unbelievable...and I cant understand parents allowing these kids to be out wandering the streets so late at night
