The search for Logan Sampson
The backstory:
Sampson was last seen on doorbell camera video letting out the family's dog before disappearing around 1:30 a.m. Sunday, Sept. 7.
He did not have his phone on him, and his mom told FOX 9 he had two seizures in the past two years, with the most recent happening two weeks ago, which caused memory loss.
More than 100 volunteers joined the search for Sampson on Monday, looking through ponds and farmland. Meanwhile, the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension and New Prague police used search dogs, drones and other aircraft in an effort to find Sampson.
