Update - 5/6/09: 3-year-old Joshua Childers has been found alive and well after being lost for over 50 hours in the heavily wooded area surrounding his home. He has been transported to hospital for a checkup and any necessary treatment. He is listed in fair condition and is with his relieved parents. We would like to extend a huge THANKS to everyone involved in the search for Joshua and those that kept him and his family in their prayers.

3-year-old Joshua Childers is missing from his home near Arcadia, MO. He was reported missing by his parents shortly after noon on Monday, 5/4/09. Joshua apparently slipped out the back door of his home and was gone about 5 minutes before his parents noticed he was missing. The couple searched for him for about 45 minutes in the hilly terrain around their home, then called authorities. Joshua was wearing a dark blue shirt and a pull-up diaper when he left his home thru the back door around 11:30 a.m.

The Shawn Hornbeck Search & Rescue Team is on-scene assisting with the search, along with numerous other police, fire and public service agencies. The terrain in the search area is very difficult, consisting of extremely dense brush and forest with substantial changes in elevation. There are also many streams, creeks and ponds in the immediate area.

We're excited to annouce our second edition cookbook, Cooking To Come Home To - A Celebration! is complete and ready for immediate shipment. This compilation of recipes from around the country includes family favorites that are sure to become instant hits in your home too! We've also included supporter submitted remebrances of when you heard the news that Shawn had been found. Many of you shared touching accounts of learning of the 'Missouri Miracle' that will stay with us for years to come. We've also featured missing child photos and case

information for selected long-term missing children from the Midwest, in hopes readers will take a few minutes of their time to look at these age progressed photos and read the child's case information. We sincerely believe it's possible these children may still be out there somewhere, and still need our help.
