A family outing at Boice-Cope State Beach near Port Orford on January 15, 2017, ended in tragedy when a sneaker wave swept three-year-old Woody Thomas and his father, Jayson Thomas, into the ocean. Woody’s mother, Charity Woodrum, witnessed the wave and the pair being taken by the surf. The U.S. Coast Guard and local authorities launched an extensive search with helicopters and a motorized lifeboat; rescuers recovered Jayson's jacket and the child carrier he had been wearing. Jayson's body was later located, but Woody was never found and, after 22 hours, active searching for the boy was called off. Woody Thomas was described as having brown hair and brown eyes, three feet tall and 35 pounds at the time.

The Oregon State Police investigated the incident and the community offered support to the grieving family. What information do readers have about Woody’s last known movements on the beach that day?
