Searchers on the ground and in a helicopter, accompanied by drones and dogs, have been scouring the area, but haven’t seen any sign of him.
RCMP and searchers say they remain optimistic they will find Darius alive, noting the area has water and that humans can survive a long time without food.
The boy has autism, so crews say they are employing several search tactics, including avoiding loud noises and bright lights at night.
