Ryker was found in the wilderness in Montana.

A 3-year-old boy has been found alive after he went missing in the wilderness for days.

Ryker Webb had been missing since June 3rd.

He was missing from the Bull Lake area in Montana.

Ryker Webb was already missing for two hours before police were contacted.

When he was last seen, Ryker was playing with the family dog in his front garden.

After he disappeared, a major search operation was launched. A steady presence of ground searchers and ATVs helped search for the young boy.

Investigating officers also used drones and dog teams to help find the boy.

Poor weather conditions made the search difficult, but Ryker was miraculously found after two days.

“A Code Red Alert was sent out to all neighbors in the vicinity of the point last seen, asking that they search their own properties and structures,” officers stated.

A missing person report was also issued nationwide.

On June 5th, a group of searchers was notified that the boy had reportedly been found.

“Deputies responded to Pine Ridge Road off South Fork Bull River Road in Sanders County and determined that it was Ryker.”

When he was found, Ryker was in good spirits and looked healthy.

However, the boy was hungry, thirsty, and cold.

Ryker was transported to the hospital for an evaluation but is reportedly doing well despite the horrifying ordeal.

Officers have praised everyone who helped search for the young boy.
