Isabella County (Michigan) missing teens’ parents speak

MT. PLEASANT, MI — The gut-wrenching feeling of not knowing is tormenting Sarah Kiley and Ed Wood. Their son, Braxton Wood, has been missing since Monday, and they haven’t slept since. “It’s tough. It’s kind of crazy. You just can’t imagine not having your child in your house,” said Ed Wood. “Or imagining life without your child,” said Sarah Kiley. Early Monday morning, their 14-year old son took the family’s 2005 black Ford Explorer from their Mt. Pleasant home.  It’s believed he drove north to pick up his 13-year-old girlfriend, Jayden Thomas, who lives in Clare. Now, the two are on the run. READ MORE HERE
