 IDAHO FALLS, Idaho - The parents of a 2-year-old who's been missing since Friday believe the boy was abducted. 
 
 In a sit-down interview with East Idaho News, Jessica Mitchell and DeOrr Kunz Sr. said they have faith DeOrr Kunz Jr. is safe, but hope whoever took him will bring him home. 
 
 "If somebody has him please don't hurt him," Mitchell said. "Just bring him home safely where he belongs." 
 
 The family is based in Idaho Falls. They traveled to the Timber Creek Reservoir for a camping trip last week. 
 
 Kunz Sr. says the toddler was last seen with his grandfather around 2:30 p.m. Friday afternoon. 
 
 "Just in a split second, your whole world is upside down and vanished," he said. 
 
 Family members spent about 20 minutes looking for Kunz Jr. before calling 911 and search and rescue crews were brought in. 
 
 More than 100 people have combed through the area where the boy was last seen. That includes grid searches on foot, supported by people on horseback and riding ATVs. 
 
 Divers were also called in to search a small creek near the family's campsite. 
 
 "They assured me there is 100 percent no chance that he is in that water, around that water," said Kunz Sr. 
 
 DeOrr Kunz Sr. says a large-scale search for little DeOrr was suspended because no one has found any trace of the boy. 
 
 He believes his son isn't on the mountain anymore. 
 
 "There's a possibility that he may be with somebody and that's what is giving us hope, said Kunz Sr. "It's a bad thing that he would be not with us right now, but it also means there's a good chance that he is alive and with somebody." 
 
 The Lemhi County Sheriff's Office hasn't commented on that possibility and no AMBER Alert has been issued for the 2-year-old. 
 
 But his parents say they're not giving up. 
 
 "Hope is what keeps it going. The search is not over. It's not done. We will find him," said Kunz Sr. 
 
 "We'll continue to look until he's found," added Mitchell. 
 
 DeOrr Kunz Sr. also wants his son to know he hasn't been forgotten. 
 
 "We will find you and we love you more than anything in the world," he said. 
 
 Kunz Sr. and Mitchell told East Idaho News they're not sure who would take DeOrr Jr. 
 
 They added that during this tough time, support from family, friends and complete strangers who have reached out to help and pray for their son is what's keeping them going.

 Sheriff Lynn Bowerman told KBOI 2News on Monday that Jessica Mitchell and DeOrr Kunz Sr., have been "less than truthful" with investigators during recent interviews. 
 
 "They are the top persons of interests," Bowerman said over the phone. "Does that mean they're suspects? Yeah I think so." 
 
 The boy has been missing since July 10 after he was last seen at his family's campsite at Timber Creek Campground, just south of the town of Leadore near the Montana border. 
 
 Bowerman says the couple agreed to a polygraph test, but when asked if they knew where there son was, red flags were raised. 
 
 "They are being less than truthful," Bowerman said. "They know something, I just don't know what they know. It causes me alarm. I believe they know where he is absolutely."

 The sheriff said the investigation began to turn in the second week of January after the FBI and behavior analysts turned over their findings. Detectives brought them in yet again for follow up interviews and they continued with their story, the sheriff says. 
 
 "I thought I'd give them another opportunity to tell us what happened, " he said. "I decided it was time the public knew what my concerns were -- I don't believe we have an abducted child." 
 
 Bowerman said he's been asked numerous times whether he'll file charges against the parents. But he says it's just too early. 
 
 "I'm not willing to jeopardize the investigation and filing (charges) too early," he said. "I want to make sure I got this right. 
 
 The boy's aunt, Tanisha O'Neal Tompkins, told our media partner KIFI in an exclusive interview that both Kunz Sr. and Mitchell are innocent. 
 
 "They have no motive at all," O'Neal Tompkins said. "They would gain nothing out of doing anything. I just want people to not be judgmental anymore and until there's facts, just please be quiet." 
 
 Tompkins says the family knows just as much as the public does, and that they want answers first. 
 
 Bowerman has asked the public to come forward if they had ever noticed any strange behavior between the couple and their son before his disappearance.
– A 2-year-old boy who went missing on a family camping trip in Idaho has been gone five days now, and his parents say their one hope is that he's been abducted rather than lost in the woods. "If somebody has him please don't hurt him," mom Jessica Mitchell tells KTVB. "Just bring him home safely where he belongs." DeOrr Kunz Jr. apparently wandered off Friday afternoon at the Timber Creek Reservoir near Idaho Falls. His parents say they thought his grandfather was watching him and vice versa, reports the Huffington Post. Searchers haven't turned up a trace, and police are not commenting on the possibility of an abduction—nor have they issued an Amber Alert. "There's a possibility that he may be with somebody and that's what is giving us hope," says dad DeOrr Kunz Sr. "It's a bad thing that he would be not with us right now, but it also means there's a good chance that he is alive and with somebody."
