LEADORE, Idaho (AP) — The Lemhi County sheriff has closed part of the Timber Creek Campground to search for a toddler missing since last summer. His parents say he disappeared while they were camping.

KTVB-TV reports (http://is.gd/pS0gk3 ) authorities want to search the area again over the next few weeks for DeOrr Kunz Jr. The toddler went missing on July 10, 2015.

Lemhi County Sheriff Lynn Bowerman named the parents, Jessica Mitchell and Vernal Kunz, suspects in January. Bowerman believes the two know more about what happened to DeOrr.

The family's attorney is urging the public to stay away from the campground and cooperate with the search.
