"
It has been over 3 weeks since Adji Desir disappeared on Jan 10. Although the ground search for Adji was called off on Jan. 17, there has been a new push to find him and the reward for his safe return has been increased to $33,500."

From last night on NG:
snipped from the transcript there is more of the interview at the link above, close to the end of the broadcast.
"SMITH: Well, you know, we`ve got a missing 6-year-old that`s developmentally delayed. That`s, you know, we have -- he was last seen 100 feet outside of his home just as dusk was approaching. And we have no witnesses to indicate that he walked off or was taken off.
And so as, you know, Ryan Mills stated, we`re running both avenues but we`ve concluded our ground search.
GRACE: Lt. Smith, you state he was last seen basically in his front yard. Was that witness his grandmother?
SMITH: His grandmother had seen him just prior to that. But we`ve actually identified the last few children that he was playing with in the front yard, playing football, when the young lad who was called home by an older brother.
And he was last seen standing just in front of his house."
That's a detail I had not heard before.
Also from NG show:
"TOM SHAMSHAK, FMR. POLICE CHIEF, PRIVATE INVESTIGATOR, INSTRUCTOR AT BOSTON UNIV.: That`s a very good question, Nancy. I think that they have conducted an extensive search with all the manpower from the local, state and federal authorities.
I firmly believe, from looking at the map, that that Route 29 that goes through there, this child could very well have been abducted."
I'm wondering?:
Is anyone familiar with Route 29 and how close it is to the neighborhood that Adji lived?
Would someone have to turn off into the neighborhood to have access by car to Adji?
Would just anyone be able to access that neighborhood and move into and out of it without the locals seeing? I mean, is it tight knit and strangers and strange cars would bring attention?
