The Florida Department of Law Enforcement has issued a missing child alert for 15-year-old Logan Mott, who's believed to be with 53-year-old Kristina French.

Logan is described as being 5 feet 9 inches tall, weighing 140 pounds and having brown hair and brown eyes.


According to JSO sources close to News4Jax and online sources, Mott is the son of a JSO corrections lieutenant.

French is described as being 5 feet 4 inches tall with blond hair and light-colored eyes.

They may be in a silver, four-door 2015 Dodge Dart with Florida tag DLLT42, authorities said.

Police said firearms are also missing from a home associated with the two, so do not approach them or the car if encountered.

Anyone with information of the whereabouts of the two or who has been in contact with either of them over the last three days is asked to call 911 or JSO at 904-630-0500. To remain anonymous, contact Crime Stoppers at 1-866-845-TIPS.

Logan has Type1 Diabetes and is without his needed medications.
 
Wanted to add a thank you to Catch2266 for bringing this case to our attention!
 
OK---let's summarize what the TV station and the frantic mother has said.

She said her 15 yr old diabetic son, who needs insulin, is missing and so is his paternal grandmother.

He lives part time with his father and grandmother. His father and girlfriend were away on vacation and expected to be picked up at the airport by the son and grandmother. The son and grandma never showed and neither answered their calls or texts.

Apparently the father is a sheriff.

The father and girlfriend came home and found the front door open, and house was trashed, and his guns were missing, and other items stolen.

His son and mother were gone.

:eek: :eek: :eek:

Police have a section of 4th St. near Seagate Ave. blocked off. This is connected to the investigation into missing 15 y/o Logan Mott and his grandmother, Kristina French. @ActionNewsJax
10:30 PM - Nov 22, 2017

If I understand correctly, Kristina is Logans grandmother. Logan was staying with her while his dad and dad's girlfriend were away. They were supposed to be picked up by Kristina but she never showed. Dad and g/f took an Uber to the house and found it trashed and weapons missing, but no sign of Logan and Kristina.

Logan is type 1 diabetic and does not have his pump or meds.

Logan's mother Carrie Mott tells Action News Jax that French is Logan's grandmother. Neither she nor Logan's father have heard from them in at least 12 hours, but she said investigators are working to determine if it has actually been longer that the two have been missing.

She said she spoke to Logan on Sunday and that is the last time anyone has spoken to him. She said that Logan seemed to be in a good mood during that conversation.

Carrie Mott said Logan's father -- her ex-husband Eric Mott, who she says is a 17-year-veteran with the Jacksonville Sheriff's Office -- was on vacation with his girlfriend and arrived back into the Jacksonville area Wednesday. She said Eric Mott and his girlfriend took an Uber ride home after they were not picked up at the airport by Eric's mother.

When they arrived at the Neptune Beach home, the door was open and the home had been ransacked and Eric Mott's guns were missing out of the gun safe, Carrie Mott said. The Jacksonville Sheriff's Office was called and they are treating the home as a crime scene, Carrie Mott said.

I just woke and saw this on the news here in S GA/NE FL. How scary. I will be going that way tomorrow for Thanksgiving and will keep my eyes open. I assume the father and girlfriend have proof of their trip and were seen there — I would hate for this to be another case like the one in St. Augustine where there was a coverup. I’m so scared for this boy and his grandmother.

I also wonder if Logan can drive since he is 15. Does he have any history of mental illness?

Could he have another insulin pump that his mother doesn’t know about (maybe one he kept at his dad’s house).

That frightens me.

I wonder if his dad had made any recent arrests in the area that angered some group of criminals. Is it “common” that retaliation could occur by someone arrested?

I’ll post updates as I see them, too. I hate for this family to have to go through this, and have to deal with holiday chaos on top of it.

I haven’t checked out their FB pages yet...
 
UPDATE AS OF 3:40am

*Update* Florida approved the notice of missing and endangered child and missing and endangered adult alert. The police are still investigating and there's no further news as of 3:40am Florida time.

Amber Alert to follow (15 year old-insulin dependent child missing)
 
The mom has posted on her FB that they do not know if he has insulin with him and that Logan’s phone was left at his dad’s house. They do not know about Kristina’s (the grandmother) phone.

Also, a friend commented that Logan had texted with a classmate about homework on Tuesday, but that the classmate hadn’t talked to him since.
 
Four possible scenarios come to mind:

1. Grandma had a mental breakdown?

2. Teen had a meltdown?


3. Revenge against father/mother or someone and they did home invasion?

4. Son and Grandma walked in on burglary or were victims of home invasion?



-----4 doesn't make sense because why would they take the 2 away with them if it was a robbery?

1 and 2 are very improbable. No evidence at this point that either of them were having mental health issues.


so maybe 3 is the most likely? yikes, I hope not.
 
Random observation — both of their FB pages are pretty Private, but they both changed their profile photo last on July 4th. Curious that the date is the same. Perhaps the dad, being an officer, gave the family a safety tip on that day, or perhaps just coincidence...
 
If the boy texted his friend about a homework assignment on Tuesday, then he was probably not in the middle of some crazy plan to steal Dad's guns and kidnap his grandmother.

And if his grandma was acting strangely, he had people he could contact. I think he could have foreseen that and escaped, who knows though.

I think this was possibly a home invasion by someone seeking vengeance on his father, perhaps.
