"We love you Monkey" sixth birthday of missing Fruitland boy Michael Vaughan

On Friday, blue balloons took to the sky, in honor of the missing Fruitland boy, Michael Vaughan, as community members gathered on his sixth birthday, to honor him and support his family. “I hope he sees them," said Brandi Neal, Michael’s mother. "Today is about his beautiful face and his life that was brought here to us and everyone here six years ago," Neal said. "He's beyond missed and beyond loved and we need him. We need him." Michael went missing July 27th, 2021. Nearly a year later, not many details have been released in the investigation as to what happened to him, but Michael's family continue to stay hopeful. "He's coming home and we're waiting for him- we're all waiting for him. Every single one of us are waiting for him and we're going to bring him home." Community members, many who say they have never even met Michael, or did not know his family a year ago, continue to step up to help. "This is a hard day for anybody, and there's no map to this or you know how to do this," said Cassidy Burns, a resident of Payette. Burns, who owns Broken Halo Barbershop in Payette, said she works constantly to get Michael’s story out into the world. “We need to continue to share his face and support the family as much as possible," Burns said. Sharing Michael's face is something Jamie Toscano tries to do as much as she can too. "I mean, I wear this when I go places, and for any events, and for my kids, I put pins on them too,” Toscano said. “Whenever we're going anywhere with high, you know, traffic of people and sometimes we get stopped and asked." Michael's family said seeing the support from their community is nice, they just hope Michael will one day soon see how much he is loved in person again. "We're going to bring him home that's what drives us because we know he's out there somewhere and we're not going to stop," Neal said.
