Have you met people? Between Facebook and Nextdoor, I'm surpiy humanity as survived for this long. I googled about him and all I got was a speculative reddit thread.


I used to live in that area and still know several people from there. There are some strange cats in the rural areas in that part of Iowa.

MONTEZUMA, Iowa —
There may be new developments in the search for 11-year-old Xavior Harrelson.

Search crews are in an area of the Fox Forest County Recreation Area just outside of Montezuma in rural Poweshiek County.


KCCI Senior Reporter Todd Magel reports a large law enforcement presence in Fox Forest just south of Diamond Lake and Lake Ponderosa.

Fox Forest is a vast county park that stretches several miles to the south. A crew using search dogs come in and out of a trail area of Fox Forest.

The Poweshiek County sheriff is at the scene but deferred all questions to the Iowa Division of Criminal Investigation.


Harrelson was reported missing on May 27. He was last seen riding his bike in Montezuma, where he and his mother live.

He was reported missing just days before his eleventh birthday. His mother said she has no idea where Xavior could be after he vanished from their Montezuma home.

Iowans helped in a search effort in the early days of his disappearance. Community members and businesses contributed to a reward fund in hopes that it would help bring answers.

Look for updates on this developing story on the KCCI Breaking News and Weather App and KCCI 8 News.

sounds like they found him. Wonder why they didn't find him in May. They really combed that area.

On the farm, IA

Officials confirm that human remains found Thursday northwest of Montezuma appear to be those of a juvenile and clothing matches the description of missing 11-year-old Xavior Harrelson.

The Iowa Division of Criminal Investigation said the Poweshiek County Sheriff’s Office received a report from a farmer of human remains discovered in a field south of the intersection of Ewart Road at 110th Street.

I think they notified the family and during the interview the guy slipped up and said the body had the clothes on that he was wearing when he disappeared.
