"The terrain is very rough, and they are doing a great job and need the time and focus to do so," Buerger said.

Nante Niem, an 8-year-old Wisconsin student, has gone missing at a state park in Michigan. Authorities are still searching for Niem.

The boy is a student in the Hurley School District in Hurley, Wisconsin, which advised anxious members of the community to stay away from the area so authorities "can best do their job."
