A desperate search has been launched for a four-year-old boy who wandered from his North Carolina home barefoot.

An Amber Alert was issued for Raul Johnson, who was last seen on foot in Laurinburg.

He is said to have been wearing a white and orange striped shirt with tigers on it, along with white pants printed with rocket ships.

Raul is said to be Indian, with black hair and brown eyes, standing about three feet tall and weighing 38 pounds.

Raul Johnson, 4, was last seen walking away from his North Carolina home on Wednesday. Authorities have no issued an Amber Alert following his disappearance

Authorities said that this wasn't the first time that Raul had walked away from his home. He reportedly went missing for about 25 minutes on Tuesday.

Scotland County Sheriff Ralph Kersey said that about 200 people have been searching for Raul both on the ground and in the air, while a dive team has been dispatched to a nearby pond, WBTV reported Thursday.

Local K-9 units are also being deployed in Johnson's search.

The FBI and the North Carolina State Bureau of Investigation are also involved in the search now.

According to ABC11, Kersey said the hope is to uncover new information about what happened to the child, since searchers 'have pretty much covered all the area that we thought a four-year-old could travel barefoot and we have not left any rock overturned.'

Johnson's mother, Annie Johnson, said that her father was taking care of Raul at the time the child went missing and that he was the one that called 911

Beginning Friday, the Scotland County Sheriff's Department, FBI and SBI will transition from a search-and-rescue effort into an 'investigative approach.'

Raul's mother, Annie Johnson, told ABC11 that her father was taking care of Raul at the time he wandered away and that he called 911 when he discovered the child was missing.

Authorities do not currently believe that foul play was involved, based on the interviews they've conducted with Raul's family members, neighbors or information that's come in from the public.

Anyone with information about Johnson is asked to call the Scotland County Sheriff’s Office at (910) 276-3385 or call 911.
