IMMOKALEE, Fla. (AP) — A southwest Florida sheriff's office is seeking volunteers to help find a 6-year-old boy who's been missing for a week. The Collier County Sheriff's Office say Adji Desir (AHD-gee De-ZEER) disappeared from a migrant farm worker village in Immokalee Jan. 10 after he went outside to play.

The sheriff's office is asking for volunteers to come to an Immokalee park Saturday to pick up fliers they can distribute in their own communities. Hundreds of volunteers searched this week for the boy, who authorities say is developmentally disabled and has the mental capacity of a 2-year-old. The FBI has assigned special agents to help with the investigation.

Immokalee is southeast of Fort Myers.
