At 5 p.m. on March 24, just shy of 48 hours after Chase Martens went missing from his family’s yard, the two-year-old’s parents issued a public plea. Father Thomas and mother Destiny were visibly distraught speaking to the assembled media. Thomas Martens choked back tears as he urged anyone with information to contact the police, “If someone has our son, please bring him home. We won’t be angry, we’ll be forgiving and grateful.”
Martens explained that it was unlike his son to wander, adding that wherever he went, he always had dogs with him. “We are looking for answers, for any information that can bring him home,” Thomas said.
As searchers finish a second full day of combing the area around the family’s home in search of the boy, Thomas thanked the community for its support. “We are overwhelmed with the support,” he said.
As the search prepares to enter its third night, Thomas said, “[The family] is praying every moment that Chase is safe.”
