Calgary police expand search for missing autistic boy Parker Wells into Nose Hill Park
The Global News segment covers the ongoing search for 11-year-old Parker Wells, an autistic and non-verbal boy missing from Calgary since July 16. It details volunteer efforts expanding the search radius, police relocating the command post to Nose Hill Park, and coordinated searches with Calgary Search and Rescue and Alberta teams using various techniques. Police issued an Amber Alert two days after disappearance following provincial approval due to case specifics. Jennifer Ball launched a petition for an 'Indigo Alert' system tailored to vulnerable neurodivergent children, reaching nearly 17,000 signatures. Alberta's premier indicated legislative changes could come in the fall. Parker was last seen in dark shorts, no shirt, and noise-cancelling headphones.
