Using an eye from the sky, the boy was found safe
With the help of some alert neighbors and drone technology, Colonie Police were able to find an 8 year old who had gone missing Monday morning. A call came in around 8:30am from someone who spotted a child with no shoes walking alone on one of the town bike paths.
Officers Dan Kutney and Dan Franklin are both members of the departments Unmanned Aerial Systems unit - they flew drone over the area near where the child had been spotted, eventually leading police to find him in a playground about a half mile from where he was last seen.
The boy had apparently wandered away from his mother, who had also been searching for him. The drone helped pinpoint his exact location and police were able to reunite him with his mom.
