LA VISTA, Neb. (KMTV) — According to a news release from the La Vista Police Department, the search for missing 11-year-old Ryan Larsen has motivated more people to request Project Lifesaver bracelets, which allow people wearing them to be tracked should they disappear.

More than 13 families who have children with autism have reached out to the Sarpy County Sheriff’s Office about the life-saving tech.
