THE PARENTS OF Dylan Ehler have demanded answers from police regarding their son’s abduction.
On May 6, 2020, the youngster was last seen alive in the backyard of his grandmother’s house.
Who is Dylan Ehler?
Dylan Ehler is a missing Canadian boy from Nova Scotia.
He was born on April 16, 2017 and has been described as a child who “went looking for joy.”
What happened to Dylan Ehler?
Dylan was playing in his grandmother’s backyard on May 6, 2020, at the height of the Covid-19 outbreak.
His grandma, Dorothy Parsons, turned around at 1.15pm to tie up her dog, but when she turned around again, he was gone.
“I went to tie the dog on her lead and I turn around and Dylan is just gone. Gone. I have no explanation,” Dorothy told CTV News, adding that she believes everything happened within 20 seconds.
“I don’t think he went near the water. I think somebody has him.
“To not be able to have him, hear him, laughing playing … I’m just destroyed,” she continued.
Local police conducted an extensive search for Dylan, who was three years old at the time, but the only thing they were able to recover was his boots.
“There are days when I feel the most logical explanation (is) that he went in the river,” Dylan’s mother, Ashley Brown, said.
“And then there are days when I think all the branches and trees and debris in the water that should’ve stopped him. They stopped his boots. Why didn’t they stop him?”
As of this writing, Dylan is still missing and it is unclear what happened to the young boy, but it is believed that he was swept away after falling into a stream behind his grandmother’s house.
Who are Dylan Ehler’s parents?
Dylan Ehler, the son of Ashley Brown and Jason Ehler, was born in 2017.
Ashley and Jason’s personal life are unknown, but they have not stopped searching for answers since their kid went stolen.
“I’m hoping to accomplish getting some answers for Dylan,” Ashley told a police review board in February 2023, according to CTV News.
Dylan’s parents filed a complaint with the Nova Scotia Police Review Board at the end of 2020, alleging a sluggish reaction and irregularities in the handling of his case.
“I hope they re-investigate certain parts of this investigation,” Jason said at the time.
“I hope they make changes with the alert systems mainly for missing children.”
According to Global News, they claimed that police failed to “realistically pursue and investigate the prospect of criminality” and had “tunnel vision” while pursuing the hypothesis that Dylan drowned, but their case was dismissed by the police board on July 17, 2023.
In their ruling, the police board stated that Truro police “acted reasonably in their initial response to a report of a missing child and in their subsequent investigation,” adding that officials searched by air for 18 hours and by land for six days.
