Authorities are inviting the public's help in the search for a 9-year-old Caroline County autistic boy who disappeared while on a walk with his family.
Media outlets report volunteers are joining the Hanover County Sheriff's Office on Tuesday in the search for Robert "Robbie" Wood Jr.
Police say the boy wandered away while with his father, brother and a woman at North Anna Battlefield Park on Sunday.

Wood does not speak, has blond hair and blue eyes. He was last seen wearing a red, long-sleeved T-shirt, blue athletic pants and blue shoes.
