Search for missing 12-year-old Sharon boy to resume in morning

BROOKFIELD

The search for a missing 12-year-old Sharon boy will continue Saturday morning, after a full day of searching today by family members, friends and law enforcement.

“I just want them to find him all right,” said Mark Goodrich Sr., of his missing son, Mark Goodrich Jr.

Goodrich said he last saw his son at about 10 a.m. Thursday at his King Street residence when the boy said he was going to his mother’s house.

Goodrich lent his son his cellphone. As the day wore on and Goodrich didn’t hear from his son again, he got worried.

“I started calling everybody and said, ‘If you see him, bring him home,’ ” he said, saying he contacted everyone he knew in Sharon, Farrell and Brookfield.

Sharon police were notified that the boy was missing late Thursday and Goodrich later got a call from a friend who said that the boy was seen in Brookfield. Goodrich said about 50 friends and family members searched in Brookfield, particularly along the Shenango River, Friday morning.

By 4 p.m. Friday, safety crews from Sharon, Brookfield, Weathersfield and Mecca had converged along the river’s banks along U.S. Route 62 and the

Pennsylvania state line, based on information gathered by Sharon police.
