The Strange Disappearance of Ryker Webb…

Today I examine the interesting missing persons case of 3 year old Ryker Webb... on a hot June day, Ryker vanished into the woods near his house, and was missing for over 2 1/2 days... he was found alive and well 2.4 miles away from his house, inside of a shed. How Ryker traversed 2.4 miles of Montana back-country, with no food or water or help... remains a mystery.

Please, please, as a child protection officer, do NOT wait to call when a child is missing, you’re significantly limiting the chance of finding them if you wait. Do not worry about causing a scene, so not worry about “wasting resources”, call, do a quick search, search the areas most likely and call the police. Missing children have a short window of time statistically to be found safe, always call right away.

What really interests me is that usually when people get lost in the woods, no matter how hard they try to walk straight, they usually end up walking in circles. The fact that Ryker managed to walk 2.4 miles away in a seemingly straight shot to someone else’s shed really doesn’t sit right with me

2.4 miles is a really short distance though. It is when you reach super high distances spanning across 10s of miles that it might happen. And walking in circles actually just means crossing your own path, it doesn't mean ending up right where you started.

to be fair kids can be crafty. I was a bit older then him and learned how to shimmy down inside of walls that didnt have a top plate in the attic so they were just open up there and a few times my dad used me to "break" into houses (our own home, a friends home, and a customers home all with permission after he got locked out), once by slipping through an open vent block in a foundation to get into the crawl space and get in through a crawl space access hatch in a closet, another time by climbing onto a covered deck to get to an open 2nd story window, and another time by my dad just shoving me through an open window. Turns out builders dont usually plan for 4 year old cat burglars so i was able to slip into some crazy places. I also once snuck into our neighors house because it had a deck added which covered an old basement window they never bothered to lock and i figured out how to get in and out of their house to play with their kids without the parents knowing by crawling under the deck, prying the window open with a toy screw driver, and then slipping into the basement before sneaking through the house into the kids rooms where we'd play in secret before I'd sneak back home. Kind of surprised i never became a burglar.

People seriously underestimate how much energy little kids have. I’m a firefighter and a few years ago we were dispatched to a “Search Detail” to assist and neighboring department. Four year old boy, last see in his back yard 30 minutes ago. After an hour of searching for him the cops find him riding his tricycle about 2 1/2 miles away in a different neighborhood. In 90 minutes this little kid rode his tricycle mostly uphill for over 2 miles. He was completely unharmed and the only explanation he gave to the cops was that he was bored. Kids can just do shit like that. It’s crazy. And that’s the story of a kid I called “Little Lance Armstrong” or more aptly “Little Floyd Landis” since this did happen in Lancaster County, PA.

The missing for 2 hours thing isn’t really that suspicious if you think about it. No parent wants to admit their child is gone. I can imagine in the two hours they were both frantically searching around the property and checking everywhere. 2 hours moves fast when you’re stressed and motivated.

[@arthas640]

Yeah, you always want to make sure the kid isnt just hiding or stuck or playing in some random spot. At his age I'd disappear all the time, no joke a few of the places my parents eventually found me included: hiding inside of a wall I'd shimmied down after getting into the attic, sitting under the deck because it was cool and breezy down there, in the crawl space because i was trying to catch rats like our cat, and inside of a couch.

[@zubnasty]

i have been investigating these 411s and noticed a patern and folklore behind it known as "skinwalkers" people think theyre demons and ghosts or zombies. but they are quite normal looking if you dont know about them. so basically a skinwalker has the ability to shapeshift into animals during the night. and we have a pack of them that harass us here in Central california and ive called the cops several times when weird sht occurs and they said they are protected because theyre off grid and not in our systems basically they have their own country inside of ours and the cops said they may or may not be working with them. so cool the cops are involved with this but not neccesarily. they know about them but choose to not bother them because they are in on the cannibalism. youll know its a skinwalker if they look like hoodlums walking dogs in forest areas or near by them. if cops cared like they appear to, they would ban them from shopping at food marts so they can be forced into the deeper forests. these beings will take children. people. they dont care. and they can hear thoughts and are NOT normal! all we can do is Pray and Hope JESUS vindicates us like HE Promises! and Hopefully JESUS takes our side and lets us be Free because this nonsense shouldnt exist and its cruel on our future generations of Children! GODBLESS and also i met a skinwalker who goes to my church i would go to. and he showed me a medical report of a "dead injury" from being struck hard by a truck. he was not fased by the truck and he was still skinwalkin and didnt even pursue the driver that hit him. also didnt spend no time at the hospital and appeared to be immune to physical damage. skinwalkers can only be killed by ash covered objects or by silver (im assuming). also they fear fire.

Everything about the official report makes sense imo. 2 miles is far but not impossibly far for a kid to walk. He could have survived without food and water for the time he was missing. He also could have found the shed and taken cover there pretty easily too. The weirdest part is the fact that he decided to stay in the shed for over a day. I feel most young kids would have the sense to leave and look for people after a few hours, or even just get bored sitting around doing nothing. The only reason it makes sense to stay hidden there is if he was afraid of something.

[@c4keatst4ke]

Yeah I hear a lot of those stories where strange occurences happen, with both missing kids and adults. They may not all be supernatural but a lot of them kinda seem like they are. I once heard of a story of some guy who went fishing at some frozen lake and then when he didn’t come back they couldn’t find anything but his footprints, and then I think it was the same guy but he somehow ended up in a different place in someone else’s clothes. My memory of the story is a bit blurry because it was awhile ago, but it’s eerie that something like that could happen and the harsh weather somehow appearing as soon as a search party is released to look for them is weird too. I’m not trying to jump to conclusions, but all of those old missing cases are strange. I think it being supernatural or extraterrestrial is a possibility , because it seemed like some of the stories they just disappeared into thin air without having any possible explanation of how, and those who have managed to come back they always had some strange story to tell.

It’s wild to me all these theories of crazy things that could’ve happened, when we all figured he went wandering, got lost, and kept going in the wrong direction. It’s REALLY easy to get turned around in the woods, even when you don’t go that far. Everyone was just happy he was found alive and mostly unharmed.

On top of that, his own parents got his age wrong, he was 4 not 3, and later admitted they didn’t remember what he was wearing. If it makes you feel better the family dog DID go out looking for him, he was caught on the neighbors camera leaving and then later returning home, probably why he seemed so stressed.

Yeah I still find the story of him wandering off and ending up in the shed to avoid the rain most likely. He kept saying 2.4 miles like that’s an impossible distance despite that being around a 45 minute walk. He could’ve covered that distance easily in the 2 days he was missing.

You gotta take a look on missing kids in southeast asia. Multiple cases really bugged me off. There was this one kid, an innocent religious kid. He got lost in a thick forest. Later then, the rescue team found him and had a conversation with him. He was stated that he was lost for like 2 hours, but little did he know he was lost for 4 WHOLE DAYS. How is that possible? How was he not noticed day and night? did he slept? Same case as Ryker, his whole facial appearance changed. The case I mentioned weren't the only ones, there are multiples I heard of.

There was a podcast episode from Mysterious Universe I listened to a really long time ago, unfortunately it's paywalled now but it was about disembodied voices that call to you from the woods or forest. A lot of people have reported hearing a family member or someone they know calling their name in the forest, asking them to come to them. Some people have reported that they've gone in the woods, and haven't recognized anything, said it only felt like a few hours that they were walking in the woods when it's really been days that they were gone. It's really really ominous and scary imo. It's very similar to missing 411 cases and it makes me wonder if the woods/forest don't house something supernatural or otherworldly that we don't know about. It can take people into seemingly other dimensions.

In Australia our most memorable lost child was 4 year old Steven Walls in 1960 who was lost in the thick bush in the middle of our hot summer for four days when searchers found him alive and seemingly well. Back in those days there was very little consideration for mental health and Steven would've been taken to hospital, fluids and food given, scratches and bruises attended to then sent home to live his life. No pyschological help. What must their little minds go through during that terrifying time lost? I'm pretty sure Steven never married. He stayed on the family farm and died in his early 60s. One childhood friend claims Steven told him he had no memory at all of being lost. Being 4 one would think he'd remember. The mind's a funny thing.

[@arthas640]

@@Elikai-Eli that was my first thought too. I grew up in a rural area and when i was his age i'd disappear a LOT so my parents always checked the house, checked my favorite spots around the property and my favorite hiding spots, and checked the neighbors and that all takes time. It's logical to at least look around first, especially since in rural areas it can take an hour or more for a cop to show up, more time to get a whole search team together. Calling 911 immediately makes sense in the city and maybe the suburbs but in rural areas you might have an acre or more of land plus a barn, shed, etc in addition to the house so there's tons of places for a kid to be without even leaving the property. In a city and the suburbs you've basically just got a yard that takes 30 seconds to check and the house itself so you can check everything in minutes.

Which should just made them want to call more in my opinion. And like you might know when you wait to call when someone goes missing ur significantly limiting the chance of finding them alive. Missing children have a short window of time statistically to be found safe. Also who would leave their baby outside by themselves for multiple minutes without watching them? Sounds so suspicious, and caring loving parents wouldn’t leave their young child alone outside neither wait TWO HOURS to call for help when they suddenly go missing outside.

@@bdawg1118 I think that’s just if it’s an adult that can take care of themselves, a baby however, I don’t think you have to wait two days to call…. You should definitely not wait to call

[@bdawg1118]

@@Mollytelma You don’t have to wait two days for an adult either. That’s why I was saying it’s a common thought. People also think you have to wait two days for children. Although that’s extremely dangerous. It’s because some cops will tell you that, and it spread like wildfire so people are nervous to call too early.

For anyone wondering : they did a dna test and found out that it is their kid

[@nikolaimcfly6883]

Why would they DNA test this kid? To prove a point?

[@AmbrosiusAmaimon]

This and the other story mentioned heavily remind me of another missing case about a little girl. She was missing *in the woods* for *three days,* and when they found her, she claimed that she had only been away picking berries for a couple hours and never saw the sun set... I really feel there's something paranormal going on in these woods that targets little kids...

[@Spoogli]

Agreed.

I actually was a kid with an experience like this! I went missing for about 20 minutes when I was 2. We were moving into a new house so there was no furniture or boxes or anything and my mom was focusing on the cable guy. They checked every single cabinet, room, closet, etc. when my mom was outside calling the police, I walked into view giggling. I can't remember any of this of course, I was 2, but it gives me this dread of what could've happened to me

17:25 I don't understand why I find this still in the video so distressing. It actually makes me anxious to look at

[@qBridges]

why?

[@CharacteristicLizard]

Liminal feeling, Context, perspective of a predator, biological instinct to help little kids, etc
