Isaiah Eric Wilburn was three years old when he was last seen in Whiteville, North Carolina, about April 1, 2020. He is described as roughly three feet tall and weighing between 30 and 50 pounds. Reports indicate he was believed to be with his biological mother in North Carolina when he disappeared, but no official missing persons report was filed until much later.

Isaiah’s disappearance is tied to an ongoing custody dispute between his biological parents. His father filed for custody in Oklahoma County District Court on October 7, 2022, stating he had not seen Isaiah in two and a half years. The El Reno Police Department in Oklahoma is listed as the primary investigating agency, reflecting the interstate nature of the case and the challenge of reconstructing a timeline after a lengthy gap.

Anyone with information about Isaiah’s whereabouts around April 2020 or since then is asked to contact the El Reno Police Department.
