VANCOUVER, Wash. - The Federal Bureau of Investigations is now joining the search for an 8-year-old boy who had been missing since June.
Authorities said 8-year-old Breadson John was reported missing after Vancouver Police in Washington conducted a welfare check at his home where community members raised questions about the child’s whereabouts.
Not much is known beyond that, but authorities said Breadson also has used the name "Brxsan."

According to KGW, Vancouver Police attempted to contact Breadson’s family.
"To date, the family members that have been contacted have not provided investigators information related to the whereabouts of Breadson and he has not been located," the agency told the news outlet.
