Today (April 23, 2016) at about 1 pm, Bo Burns was last seen by his parents. He left the home but should have returned quite some time ago. Burns’ parents called Spokane Police to report he was missing. There is a chance he may be in the area of Coeur D’Alene Park or Riverfront Park, but could be anywhere.
