“If it’s at nighttime and it’s dark and he scared and he’s running, or whatever the situation, he could be terrified right now … so much open land and ponds, it’s hard to even fathom the situation,” family friend Lyndsay Estes told NBC4 Nashville.

Joe Clyde has blonde hair, blue eyes, stands 4 feet tall and weighs about 65 pounds. Anyone who knows of his whereabouts is asked to call 1-800-TBI-FIND.

The story is still developing. Check back with CrimeOnline as additional details become available.
