Unhappy TX - Joshua Davis - 18 mnths old - New Braunfels - 4 Feb 2011

http://knbt.fm/news/toddler-still-mi...-and-neighbors

Feb 5, 2011

Quote:
New Braunfels, TX) -- An 18-month old toddler is still missing, despite the best efforts of New Braunfels Police and nearby neighbors who went out into the cold night searching for the young boy. Police officials say they were first called out to the 26-hundred block of Savannah Hill Circle (which sits off of Klein Road, on the east side of I-35) just before 9 o’clock last night after the mother of the 18-month old buy reported him missing. She had last seen him inside their residence about 20-minutes prior to calling police, and responding officers searched the home multiple times, then added a grid search of the entire neighborhood, with no luck finding the toddler. So a DPS helicopter was called in to search by air, while 24-hundred residents in the surrounding area were notified of the incident through the city’s Emergency Notification System. Dozens of neighbors then poured into the streets, helping New Braunfels Police and Guadalupe County Sheriff’s Officers look for the young boy, but to no avail. The 18-month old remains missing. A photo of the boy and his description has been released. His name is Joshua Davis, 18-months old, 1-feet tall, weighing 30-pounds, last seen wearing a blue and red long sleeve shirt and a grey long sleeve t-shirt, a beige and white onesy and beige jeans, and black and white socks. Anyone locating Joshua or knowing his whereabouts, please contact New Braunfels Police immediately at 830-221-4100.

Goodness, this is scary. What could have happened to this baby? He is not tall enough to unlatch a screen door to get out in the streets. Wonder if the mother thinks someone took him? Bless his heart, I hope he is found soon. Sounds like the neighborhood responded quickly and will be on the lookout.

I looked for a scanner feed but all that is available for that area is EMS & Fire. I'll post the link in the scanner thread for anyone who wants to listen.

Has there been anything said yet about the rest of the family? Dad? Boyfriend? Last person besides Mom that saw the child?

I think this is every parent's nightmare.....

Quote:
More than 100 police, fire and EMS personnel along with volunteers from San Antonio and Austin combed a New Braunfels neighborhood for an 18-month-old toddler missing since Friday night.

“We are trying to be optimistic, but it was very cold last night,” said New Braunfels Police Lt. Michael Penshorn of the overnight search for Joshua Davis.

Authorities are pursuing the idea that the child, who has been described as very mobile and who has been walking for about 10 months, may have wandered away from his parents' mobile home in the 2600 block of Savannah Hill Circle.

Praying Joshua is no where near the Guadalupe River (known for rafting) although his residence is close.

6:30 P.M. UPDATE: Search for Joshua continues; NBPD interviews sex offender

<snip>

Parents, friends speak out

Joshua was last seen wearing a blue and red long sleeve shirt, a gray long sleeve T-shirt, a beige and white onesy, beige jeans and black and white socks. NBPD does not believe he was wearing shoes.

"Someone took him," said Michelle Griffin, family friend. "He needs medical attention immediately. He has asthma and other medical conditions."
Both of Joshua's parents were present Saturday afternoon at the Klein Road Elementary search and rescue command site.

"I last saw my son around 8 last night," said Josh Davis, Joshua's father. "He was pulling on my beanie trying to take it off. He was behind my chair. When I told him to stop, he looked at me and smiled.

"That was the last time I saw him."

"The sex offender has been interviewed, and we have also conducted searches on his residence and vehicle," Penshorn said. "As of right now, we have nothing to believe he's involved in this case."

This story is so bizarre. The child was present in a room full of people who were visiting his home. He was in the same room as his mother yet no one saw anyone take him? And its hard to imagine a young child who has medical problems but has been actively walking since he was 8 months? Hmmmm.....

My heart goes out to his family...I hope he is found by morning...

Missing toddler: Wandered off or abducted?

Posted on February 6, 2011 at 12:24 AM
Updated today at 12:23 AM


SAN ANTONIO -- Both the family of an 18 month old New Braunfels boy and law enforcement desperately searched for the missing child. However, their theories on why the toddler is missing is different.

As of Saturday evening, authorities continue to treat this case as a search and rescue effort.

Investigators suspect the child may have wandered from his home after a family friend left Friday night. The family fears an abductor may be behind the child's disappearance.
