The statement thanks the community for its support and help in attempting to find the second grader, and asks that people continue looking for the boy.

"We need," the statement reads, "for folks to continue to assist us in our goal. Please search your properties - cars, out buildings, sheds, etc. There are a lot of resources here to help you search, so please don't stop."

The message ends by saying that the family's goal is "to keep the focus on Kyron and not about anything else."

The second grader was last seen Friday morning after visiting a science fair event at his school, Skyline Elementary in Portland, Ore. Kyron's stepmother, Terri Moulton Horman took him around the school to look at science projects, and left him at around 8:45 a.m. She last saw Kyron apparently walking toward his classroom.

When Kyron did not return home from school, his father and stepmother called the school, and learned that Kyron had not been in class all day.

The FBI has added a mobile command unit to help with the search, which has reached its sixth day.

Sgt. Jason Gates of the Multnomah County Sheriff's Office told CBS affiliate KOIN Wednesday that the "tips have been incredibly helpful," and they continue to pour in.

"We haven't found him and cannot comment on the last 48 hours of our investigation," Gates added. According to KOIN, Gates would not comment on much else, including information on anyone who had taken a polygraph test.

Kyron is 3 feet, 8 inches tall. He weighs about 50 pounds. He was wearing orange and black cargo pants, white socks, worn black Skecher tennis shoes with orange trim and a T-shirt with the "CSI" logo.

Anyone with information on Kyron's whereabouts is urged to call the Multhnomah County Sheriff's Office tip line at (503)-261-2847.
