  • Search for missing five-year-old boy in southern Alberta enters third day

The search for a five-year-old boy in southwestern Alberta is entering its third day.

RCMP say two nights of searches have yielded no results in finding Darius Macdougall.

Macdougall went missing Sunday after he didn't return from a walk with six family members to their campsite near Island Lake Campground, south of Crowsnest Pass.

Mounties have said people should avoid the area and leave the search to the professionals.

Darius is described as four feet tall with short brown hair, and he was last seen wearing a blue-grey hoodie and sweatpants.

Police said the boy has autism, which may prevent him from responding to others.
