After school he took the bus to his family's home on Southeast Tiger Mountain Road. They'd moved into the house just two months earlier. David went to a friend's house to play. He was due home for dinner at 5:00 p.m. He called his mother and asked to stay with his friend for longer, but she told him to come home. He set off on a local trail that was a shortcut home, but never arrived. After fifteen minutes, his mother called David's friend's house to find out why he hadn't come home yet and realized he wasn't there. An extensive search of the area turned up no sign of him, and he has never been heard from again. Authorities initially theorized that he fell down a mine shaft or was attacked by a cougar.
