Nunez said she believes that someone may have abducted her son, but Grimes County Sheriff Don Sowell said there is no evidence of foul play.



According to authorities, Christopher was playing with a neighbor's dog on Wednesday around 2 p.m. local time while his mother unloaded groceries from her car. The boy then followed the dog into the woods.



The dog returned but Christopher hasn't been seen since.

"We continue what we've been doing yesterday and last night with a new team, fresh teams and no news to report," he said.

"We've had search teams on the ground also yesterday and through the night, so we have another group of them already on the ground," he added.



Crews and community volunteers are canvassing the wooded area and using everything from drones and dogs to track Christopher's scent.



The FBI has also offered to help in the search.



"The FBI has offered all of our assistance," Brittany Garcia, public affairs representative at the FBI in Houston, told ABC News affiliate KTRK on Thursday. "The biggest resource that we are offering to them is personnel. So our evidence response team is out here doing searches high and low, between the trees everywhere, even in water to to find Christopher."
