"When he lost the GPS signal, he lost the address and he was unable to recover it because Snapchat messages disappear or are deleted after they are read," Francis said. The boy gave the officer his father's name and number, and the officer called the boy's father just as the dad was in the process of reporting his son missing to the police. The father drove to Charleston to pick up the boy.
