A massive search for a missing 7-year-old was called off Sunday evening
because...

A massive search for a missing 7-year-old was called off Sunday evening after the
boy was found playing video games at a neighbor's house.

The search kicked off just after 2 p.m. in the 5900 block of 105th Place NE and
involved approximately 50 members of Snohomish County Search and Rescue,
four dog teams, the county sheriff's helicopter, and a "man tracker," a person
specially trained in following almost imperceptible traces of a trail.

Jorgensen said the boy's parents had last seen him about noon, but called police
when they couldn't find him after searching for two hours.

The search ended when the boy was found just after 5 p.m.

Jorgensen said she was getting a photo of the boy and getting ready to contact
the news media about his disappearance when the child was found at a neighbor's
home three doors down.

"He had no idea about all of the attention and all the activity that was going on in
the neighborhood," Jorgensen said. "He was just having a great time playing
Nintendo."

I wonder what the kid was playing. GameCube, SNES or NES? I totally
understand why the kid could not be found. Man, we all know how addictive
Nintendo games are!

True story or a joke by Cube Net? If true, then great publicity for Nintendo!
