Found: Isaak Glenn, 5, Safe After Disappearance From Camping Trip

Aug. 6, 2010— -- A family in Oregon is breathing a collective sigh of relief with their little boy home safe after disappearing just hours away from where Kyron Horman vanished in June.

The family of 5-year-old Isaak Glenn feared the worst when he wandered into the woods of Carl G. Washburne Memorial State Park and disappeared. As night fell and dawn came there was no sign of the little boy.

While teams from the local police and the FBI combed the dense forest, it was a father and son team that eventually spotted the little boy on Thursday afternoon after driving 90 miles to the campsite to help with the search.

"At one point we were calling Isaak's name and we got a response," Pete Barrell told "Good Morning America." "It was a miracle."

"I think he shouted, 'I'm here,' or something," Barrell said.

Isaak had already been missing overnight when Barrell read about his disappearance in a local newspaper. Remembering the desperation he felt when he lost his own son in the Oregon wilderness for a few hours several years ago, he grabbed his son Mason and hopped in the car.

"I guess just being a father inspired me to do something to help," Barrell said. "In a small way I could sympathize."

After checking in with a state trooper, Barrell and his son headed north of where Isaak was last seen, walking along creek beds not yet searched. Then they heard his tiny voice.

"He was way up a very steep hillside," Barrell said, adding that he and Mason had to traverse the creek and muddy wetlands to climb up to the little boy. "He had gone up and over quite a mountain."

Mason Barrell reached him first.

"He initially asked us who we were and how we knew him," Mason Barrell said. He said he told the little boy that they had been sent by his parents to find him.

"He was pretty terrified, but he wasn't crying," Pete Barrell said. "He was wide eyed."

Boy's Parents Credit Media Attention With Finding Son Alive

The Barrells said Isaak told them he wandered off and got lost, but that he had fallen asleep and woken up when the sky lightened the next day.

Isaak's parents credited all the media attention with getting people out and bringing their son home.

"We couldn't be happier," Rebekah Glenn said. "Part of our heart was gone, and it's back now."

Isaak, in his mother's arms, summed up his adventure simply: "Got lost in the woods."

The search through the woods was eerily reminiscent of the initial search for 7-year-old Kyron Horman, who remains missing more than two months after he disappeared from his elementary school.

And Isaak's disappearance also came on the heels of two other missing boys in Arizona. Emmett Trapp, 2, was found dead the same day Isaak disappeared after apparently wandering shoeless in rugged terrain.

Last month, in the same Arizona county, 2-year-old Syler Newton was believed to have been abducted from his tent while on a camping trip with his soon-to-be adoptive parents. Syler has not been found, but authorities have said they believe he is dead.
