SELIGMAN, AZ (CBS5) - A 7-year-old boy who disappeared Saturday morning from his grandmother's home outside of Seligman has been found safe, sheriff's authorities said.
Cole Evans was found in good condition at around 11:45 a.m. Sunday, according to Yavapai County Sheriff's Office spokesman Dwight D'evelyn.
