Law enforcement have launched a tip line to help find a missing Iowa boy who vanished from a rural Iowa trailer park days before his 11th birthday.

The FBI and the Iowa Division of Criminal Investigation are hoping the digital tip line, fbi.gov/findxavior, will help in the search for Xavior Harrelson, The Des Moines Register reported.

Harrelson went missing May 27.

He lived with his mother in the Spruce Village trailer park in Montezuma, a town of 1,300 people that is 70 miles east of Des Moines. He disappeared after leaving home around 11 a.m. A friend’s mother later called authorities to report the boy missing after speaking with his worried mother.

Detectives are considering several possibilities in his disappearance, including that he was abducted, that he suffered some kind of accident or that he ran away.

Drones, horses and dogs are among tools that have been used so far as the hunt for Harrelson stretches on.
