UPDATE AT 10:10 P.M. (WZZM) -- The mother of an autistic Wyoming teenager who was the subject of an Amber Alert says the boy was trying to return home Friday night, but became lost after sunset.
Mikey Gray, a 2-year-old with autism, walked out the door of his home dressed in lime-green pajamas Aug. 7 and disappeared into the woods of Spafford in the hills above Skaneateles Lake.
His mother, Kimberly Gray, remembers well the four hours of pain and terror she went through that day as 150 police officers and volunteers searched for the boy. It ended when a state trooper heard the boy’s cries and found him in the woods a quarter mile from the family’s Bacon Hill Road house.
Kimberly Gray was grabbing a shower around noon that day. Her husband, off-duty state Trooper John Gray, was helping their 13-year-old son set up his stereo. Then the 13-year-old said two words that set the family into pandemonium — “Where’s Mikey?”
Kimberly said it took two seconds for Mikey to disappear.

Spafford (WSYR-TV) -- Two-year-old Michael Gray, who went missing on Tuesday, is now resting at home safely with his parents. Gray, who is autistic, wandered into the woods and vanished sometime around noon. But after an extensive search, Gray was found alive and well. “He’s just a beautiful, beautiful kid…an incredible sweet boy,” said Gray’s mom Kim. After a four hour search, and with just a few scratches on his face, Gray was found. Gray ventured a little too far from his home, prompting an intensive search on the ground and from above. Then, at about 4 p.m., the call came in that he’d been found. State Trooper Joe House found Gray about a quarter mile down the road.
