The search for a missing 10-year-old in Gem County resumed when the sun came up this morning.

Devin Nettleton was last seen about 2:30p.m. yesterday.

Family, volunteers and several agencies are looking for him in some pretty rough terrain that's only accessible with all terrain vehicles and helicopters.

Deputies tell us Devin went four wheeling with his uncle on Tuesday when the four wheeler became stuck.

Yesterday they both went back to get the four wheeler.
While there, Devin told his uncle he was going to walk up to the top of the ravine. That was the last time Devin was seen.

Search crews tells us that they had found Devin's backpack and his shirt near the four wheeler. He is wearing jeans and red and white shoes.

Gem County is heading up the search with the help of Canyon County, the Forest Service, the Bureau of Land Management, and the Idaho National Guard is searching with helicopters.
