LOS ANGELES—A 7-year-old boy who went missing from his Arlington Heights home was found safe April 5, but the circumstances of his disappearance were still unclear.
Derek Clay was last seen about 4:30 p.m. Tuesday in the courtyard of an apartment complex in the 1100 block of Crenshaw Boulevard, according to the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD).
The grandfather, Donald Lewis, reported the boy missing around 9:30 p.m. Tuesday when he was unable to locate him. He told reporters the child would often go to visit friends and return later, but this time, he never came back.
