KYLE MITCHELL - 2 yo - Webster Cty/ Sturgis MS

Authorities continue to search for a child who disappeared Sunday
afternoon from the front yard of his parents' house in Tomnolen.

The
Webster County Sheriff's Department says the child, Kyle Mitchell, 2,
was playing in the front yard. His parents noticed him missing at about
3:30 p.m.


Authorities say Mitchell has blond hair and brown eyes,
and was last seen wearing a camoflauge shirt with a moose on the front
and grey sweatpants.

The area immediately around the home has a
lot of tall grass and wooded areas, but several area search teams are
already searching for Mitchell, including the Montgomery County
Sheriff's Department.

Anyone with information is asked to contact the Webster County Sheriff's Department at (662) 258-7701.

In Webster County, the Mississippi Highway Patrol says a 2-year-old boy
who was reported missing over the weekend has been found dead. Kye
Mitchell had last been seen Sunday afternoon around 2:00 near his home
in Webster County in north Mississippi. On Monday, MHP spokesman Jon
Kalahar said Mitchell's body had been found near the home. He said an
autopsy would be performed to determine how the boy died. No other
information was given.

Awww so sorry to hear the sad news. I was hoping they would fine the boy. Such tragic news. I hope the autopsy gives them some answers.

Why would a 2 year old be allowed in the front yard alone and unsupervised? At that age they are likely to dart into the street giving some poor motorist heart fright.

There is more to this story IMO.

I wondered the same thing Twink. You can't leave a 2 year old alone at all or they will take off. I still can't get over the 3 year old that walked something like a mile in the middle of the night to go to a convenience store. No one would believe that story if the child had ended up lost and died. But since the child did show up at the store and they went to his parents house and found everyone asleep. I was hoping for a similar outcome with this little boy but it wasn't to be.

I won't even let my 3 year old granddaughter out of my sight at the playground. I don't enjoy climbing all over those giant wooden playgrounds but I will do it to keep up with her.

An all-night search for a Webster County toddler ends with the discovery of his body.

Two-year-old Kye Mitchell disappeared from his front yard Sunday afternoon.

Mitchell's parents say he was playing outside before they noticed him missing around 3:30 PM.

More than 100 people volunteered in the search for the young boy and helicopters were used to cover rough terrain in the area.

Little Kye was discovered by volunteers in a pond about a quarter-mile behind his home Monday morning.

Despite the tragic ending, family members say they are grateful for the support.

Seth Mitchell, a family member and Webster County Incident Commander said, "Of course, it's always hard when you lose a child of any age. They did tell me that they appreciated all the help from everyone and they said they really could see the love shown toward them from everyone in this county and all our surrounding counties."

An autopsy will be conducted in Jackson.

The Mississippi Bureau of Investigation is still trying to determine if foul play was a factor.
