CROWSNEST PASS – Searchers from Alberta and British Columbia have joined the effort to find a five-year-old boy who police say disappeared near a campground.

RCMP say in a news release that Darius Macdougall was reported missing around 11:30 a.m., and was last seen walking with his family about four kilometres south of Crowsnest Pass near Island lake Campground in southern Alberta.

Police say the boy has a medical issue which may prevent him from responding to others.
