EL DORADO, Kan. — The Kansas parents who failed to report their 11-year-old adopted son missing nearly a decade ago are “people of interest” as authorities search for him nationwide, a sheriff said Monday.

Investigators only recently learned Adam Herrman was missing and are focused on finding him, Butler County Sheriff Craig Murphy said. Adam was 11 when he disappeared in 1999 from a mobile- home park in Towanda where he lived.

The family’s attorney, Warner Eisenbise, said his clients are innocent of any wrongdoing other than not reporting their son missing, which is against Kansas law.

“He was a problem child. He ran away frequently to the point of exasperation,” Eisenbise said.
