On June 3, 2022, Webb went missing after he was playing with his family dog. The boy and the dog were playing out in the front of the family’s home in Troy, Mont. However, after the father went inside for a moment, Webb supposedly walked off and into the forest. After two hours, Webb’s parents called the police and search party was set up.

Many people in the town of Troy began looking for Webb with little luck. Weather conditions were difficult with scattered thunderstorms and temperatures as low as the 40s. According to ABC, “Dozens of people helped in the search around the Bull Lake area south of Troy. Searchers used ATVs, drones, dog teams, and a boat to look for Webb during the search, according to authorities.”

After one night in which he wasn't found, the Montana Air National Guard helicopters and Flathead County drones were added to aid the search. But in the end, none of that mattered, because Webb was found by a couple who checked on their small shed in the back of their cabin after hearing some noises.

Webb was keeping shelter in the shed where the family keeps their generator, which is how he survived the harsh weather conditions, as well as the abundance of wild animals like mountain lions and bears.

“They heard a little boy’s voice from the shed out back where they keep a generator," Lincoln County Sheriff Darren Short said to Today. “So they went to the shed and there he was … He was very, very scared.” Of course he was! He was a 3-year-old alone in the cold wilderness of Montana!

At the time, Short explained, “We’re still looking into why he disappeared, and why he wasn’t being watched closely.” Short also said that Webb was very excited to be reunited with his parents.

It seems like an accident gone wrong, but that hasn’t stopped the internet from coming up with their own conspiracy theories.
