Missing Idaho Boy
The plot thickens… Hope the boy is found well!
Police investigating the disappearance of an Idaho boy missing for a week said Friday they are afraid the child may have been the victim of a tragedy.
Boise authorities told reporters that there are “suspicious circumstances” surrounding 8-year-old Robert Manwill’s disappearance.
“Robert may be injured or be the victim of a tragic event,” said Boise Police Chief Jim Kerns at a brief Friday press conference. “But he is still missing.”
Earlier this week, news emerged that Robert’s mother is on probation for fracturing the skull of the missing boy’s infant half brother, who was removed from her custody by the state.
Robert was last seen near the Boise apartment of his mother, Melissa Scott Jenkins. Police detectives, FBI agents and more than 100 volunteers have searched extensively, but haven’t found him.
Boise police have previously said there is no evidence of foul play in the disappearance of Robert, and that the family is cooperating fully.

About Boise
BoiseRealEstateInfo.net offers some good resources for first time homebuyers when looking at investing in a home. There is local information, websites to visit, utilities, and much more. Yet it lacks the ability to search for homes. But that is okay, there are plenty of sites that do that yet who knows how many of them are kept updated. I think the best way to search for homes is by visiting one of the local brokers website and searching from there.
Another website I found that is evolving into a pretty neat resource is called AboutBoise.org. Not only does it show visitors the local newspapers but also citizen journalists who really have good insight and talent in the local area. You can view the latest Boise News and even take a quick look at the Boise Traffic.
Yet this site doesn’t have everything but I noticed it is growing.

Boise Photo Gallery
With the cold weather keeping me inside… Actually, I just don’t care for the cold so I choose to stay inside, I have had a lot of time to add to my Boise Real Estate website. Building graphs and charts and now I have decided that a picture is worth a thousand words and have added a new Boise Photo Gallery that has pictures of local places, events, etc. It isn’t complete and it will be growing as time goes on but it is still worth checking out if you are interested in the Boise area.
New Activity Guide
Boise Parks and Recreation have just come out with the Winter/Spring activity guide. I have found this publication to be of great value. It provides a great selection for youth, teens, and adults that are looking to take some form of continued education. Art, language, dance, photography, sports, etc. Boise residents get a discount. I have taken several classes through Boise Parks and Rec and have enjoyed them.
