TBI issues Amber Alert for missing Cheatham County boy​


The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation has issued an Amber Alert as multiple agencies look for a missing boy who ran off from his Ashland City home Sunday afternoon.

The Cheatham County Sheriff's Office said Jordan Gorman, 9, was upset and left his home around noon, going into the woods near Valley View Road and Wanda Lane. The TBI originally issued a statewide Endangered Child Alert, but by Monday morning the department issued an Amber Alert amid "new information and growing concern about [his] well-being."

As of Monday morning, the sheriff's office said the search continues, but there's still no sign of the boy.


The Sheriff’s Office reported Jordan Gorman got into a disagreement with his parents at their home on Valley View Road and ran off into the woods. He was last seen wearing a gray short-sleeve T-shirt with red stripes on the arms, blue jeans and tennis shoes.

He does not have a cell phone and a Tennessee Highway Patrol helicopter has been launched to assist in the search.

The TBI launched an airplane to search and several K-9 units were called to the scene Sunday. Authorities in Montgomery County also were called to help.

Experts: Jordan Gorman defied the odds​

Jordan Gorman was found after spending days three days and two nights in the woods of Cheatham County with no jacket, socks, or shoes.

Experts said his chances of survival were less than one percent.

"Behind all these masks we are nothing but smiles," said Cheatham County Sheriff Mike Breedlove at a press conference announcing Gorman's recovery. "The odds were way against us as each night went by."


It is still unclear where Gorman will go after he is released from the hospital.

Questions about Jordan's family and his home life were referred to the Tennessee Department of Children's Services on Tuesday. An agency spokesman declined to answer specific questions, citing state confidentiality laws. He said DCS was working closely with state and local law enforcement on the case.

Authorities said Jordan reportedly didn’t know people were looking for him, and he was not actively trying to go home.

“He was just chilling in the woods,” one of the rescuers said.



I still just love this picture. Like, "dudes, what's all the fuss about? I'm good!"

That cold, hungry and days in and not actively trying to go home says something. Hopefully they get it straightened out and provide some help with whatever the issue was. Still tickled this child is safe.
 
Gorman’s father, Aaron Hatt, says Jordan went into the foster care system about two years ago and now has a new last name. When the TBI first issued the AMBER Alert on Monday, he didn’t know it was his own son until the TBI released a photo.

Aaron Hatt, Jordan's father, told News4 that his son has autism and was living in Cheatham County with his two siblings and their foster parents.

He said when he heard his son was missing he was shocked because Jordan would never leave his older sister Jocelyn.

He said: "I don't think that per se, but I just know that it seems odd that he wouldn't come back if nothing else because he got hungry or because he was looking for Jocelyn."

Jordan was last seen Sunday morning near a heavily wooded area near his home, the TBI confirmed.

His older sister Jocelyn was the last person to see him. He was standing at the end of the driveway, the family's pastor, Gerald Prior, told The Tennessean.

*(Sounds like it was a sibling argument. Just thrilled to see his biological family so emotional about his safety though even after having been adopted.)
