18-month-old Tampa boy missing in S. Florida

The Broward Sheriff's Office says Vihaan Pullamsetti was reported missing from an apartment in Weston on Sunday afternoon.

He said he believes the boy wandered off during a moment when no one was looking.

Canals, ditches and ponds throughout the apartment complex were a primary concern, according to the Broward sheriff.

"We'll dive all night if we have to", Israel told the media Sunday night.

Deputies launched their search with the assistance of bloodhounds, divers and aviation units around an area near 417 Lakeview Drive. After someone noticed Vihaan missing, family and friends searched for about 20 minutes before calling 911.

"This is very, very unfortunate", the spokesperson said. "And we don't have him know". "Please respect their privacy".
