There's something known as the magical age, between 9 and 12,
-
when a child's psyche is more malleable.

That could be why the unsub changed his victimology.
-
Like the child soldiers being recruited by the rebels in Sudan,
-

He realized that the younger that he went,
-

Brandon was taken at 15.

-
And Daniel was 12 when he was abducted.

So there's a possibility he's still alive.
