A missing 'hungry, thirsty and cold' little boy was found safe after two days on his own in the near-freezing temperatures of the Montana wilderness.
Ryker Webb, 4, was reported missing Friday afternoon south of Troy, Montana after he was last seen playing with the family dog in his yard on the East side of Bull Lake.
Search efforts for the boy over the weekend were hampered by 'very poor weather conditions which consisted of rain, low visibility, and low ceiling,' the Lincoln County Sheriff's Office said.
Temperatures fell into the low 40s in Missoula, Montana on Saturday, with a quarter inch of rain hitting the ground, the sheriff's wrote in a release.
But two days later, Ryker was located in good shape near Pine Ridge Road and South Fork Bull River Road in Sanders County, about 2.4 miles from where he went missing, the sheriff's office said.
The child 'was in good spirits and apparently healthy, although hungry, thirsty, and cold,' according to the sheriff's statement.
