So my question is, if the family was in Independence waiting for word, and the child was found in the same area that he "disappeared", why would park officials helicopter him to the complete other side of the park and drop him off on the West Side? That doesn't make a lot of sense to me. Is it a jurisdictional thing about where the helicopter can put down?

Can someone provide some insight maybe?
