Circumstances of Disappearance

Scott was last seen with his sister, Amy , at their residence on Scout Lake Loop Road in Sterling. Previously, they had been out at a restaurant/bar with their mother and an aunt who was visiting the family. After dropping the children off at their home, their mother and aunt went back out to the bar until between 2-3AM. They assumed that the children were asleep, or over at a neighbor's house, and retired for the night. They didn't know that they were missing until the next day when the neighbor children inquired about their whereabouts, since they had not attended school that day.
