Just a wonderful kid," said Titus.Titus said they believe he is lost in the woods, and several family members are searching so when he is found, someone familiar to him will be there.Titus said the family appreciates all the neighbors and community members who have come out to search."It's got to be scary for him being out there all night by himself. He's got to be cold. He's got to be hungry. I hope they find him as soon as possible, and he can go home," said neighbor Nicole O'Donal.The York County Sheriff's Department, Waterboro Fire Department, Maine State Police and K-9 search teams with the Maine Association of Search and Rescue Dogs are helping with the search.Anyone with information about Dremsa's location can call state police dispatch in Gray at 207-657-3030.
