Six-year old Silas Faria of Waldoboro wandered away from a party at a neighbor’s camp on Route 32 in Waldoboro at around 11:00 a.m. yesterday. The Maine Warden Service was notified at around 11:30 and a search began that involved the Warden Service, the Lincoln County Sheriffs Office, Maine State Police, Waldoboro Police, Waldoboro Fire, Bristol Fire Department and approximately 30 volunteers.

Maine Warden Mark Merrifield and his K-9 partner Aspen began tracking Silas and was able to find him at approximately 4:20 that same afternoon. Faria was checked out by emergency medical personnel on the scene and then was released to his family.
