FBI searches for missing Arkansas boy

CHIDESTER, Ark., Feb. 17 (UPI) -- The FBI is asking for the public's help in finding a 3-year-old Arkansas boy who disappeared from his family's home next to a bar in Chidester.

Dominick Wesley Arceneaux stands 3 feet tall, weighs 38 pounds and has brown hair and eyes.

He was last seen by an aunt last Tuesday afternoon in the front yard of the mobile home where he and his mother have lived since December, CNN reported Tuesday.

Rescuers have searched White Oak Lake, near where the boy was last seen, and currently are conducting a two-mile grid search around the home, said FBI Agent Kimberly Brunell.

Investigators also are questioning patrons of the bar next door to the boy's home and registered sex offenders in the area.

"There is not the normal traffic of just neighbors," Brunell said.

Investigators are looking for new leads on "suspicious vehicles, suspicious persons ... anyone who might have a nugget that might lead us on our way to finding out what happened to him, Brunell said.
