Investigators searching for a missing teen with autism say the operation will change heading into Thursday, day five. Jake Wilson was last seen leaving his La Porte City home Saturday night around 9 p.m. He was wearing a brown jacket, blue sweatpants, and cowboy boots, but left without his glasses that he normally wears. Wednesday afternoon, La Porte City Police Chief Chris Brecher told reporters they will no longer need public volunteers moving forward. Taking over, specialized teams will be focusing on water searches along the creek, and into the Cedar River. Others will continue targeted searches on land. Black Hawk County Sheriff Tony Thompson says the best thing the public can do now is continue to share Jake’s image and watch for him.
