And at the conclusion of this investigation, I'm hopeful we'll find the answers. It's important that our case is organized and very strong," said in a press conference on July 22. Huff said the department believes that little Michael disappeared in a smaller window of time than what was originally thought on July 27, 2021. It's believed Michael vanished around 6.40pm to 7pm when his father, Tyler Vaughan, said he was taking care of his daughter in the back bedroom and ordering pizza on the phone. The father said he entered the living room and could not find his son. Michael was last seen wearing a light blue Minecraft shirt, dark blue or black boxer briefs that had a green stripe, and flip-flop sandals. Huff said in a statement at the time: "To begin, we are just beyond the one week mark in our search for our missing and endangered 5-year-old Michael Joseph Vaughan." "I have to tell you that I spent my entire childhood in the neighborhood where Michael went missing. My children are growing up here. My law enforcement partners are mothers, fathers, aunts, uncles, or friends of children just like Michael." "We are all in and we are committed to finding Michael." "The first missing and endangered child alert went out at 8.20pm with four different alerts to email, phone calls and text messages being issued to area residents until 11:20 pm that night." "Michael's image and information went out to a nationwide law enforcement database known as NCIC (National Crime Information Center)." ...WE WANT HIM HOME' During a press conference last summer, Vaughan's parents addressed the community. His mother said: "I just want to thank the community and all the enforcement agencies that have been continuously, tirelessly looking for him. And anybody that has information, please contact the Fruitland PD." "We just want our 'Monkey' home. We just miss our baby and we want him home." On Friday, August 6, 2021, dozens of motorcycle riders gathered at Fruitland Community Park to pray for Vaughan to be found, according to East Idaho News. Riders decorated their motorcycles with blue ribbons, representing Vaughan's favorite color. Brooke Curtis, one of the organizers for the motorcycle ride said: "We put together a motorcycle ride tonight for awareness and support for the Michael Vaughan's family. (He's) also known as "monkey". "We are part of the motorcycle community, when tragedy strikes, when something heavy happens the motorcycle community comes together." "We thought (we'd) get 10 or 15 bikes together to ride by and let them know that they're supported by the motorcycle community. We all want their son home just as much as they do." "We thought it might be a nice gesture for them. It might not be helpful to the investigation or anything like that but it's helpful to them as a family to see that support around them."
