There are cases that dilute the Amber Alert system. In my opinion, this is one of those cases in that it is lacking core information and core timeliness. I hope he is found; I fear the average citizen of Cleveland is less likely to pay attention to his phone the next time it buzzes, and that’s also a tragedy.

‘Come home’: Mom speaks out after Amber Alert issued for teen last seen at CLE party

Cleveland police say they’re investigating the disappearance of a 15-year-old boy as a possible abduction.

www.wdtn.com

CLEVELAND (WJW) – Cleveland police say they’re investigating the disappearance of a 15-year-old boy as a possible abduction.

Police issued an Amber Alert just after 2 p.m. Saturday for Keshaun Williams.

The Cleveland Division of Police first issued a missing person alert Saturday morning for Williams. Williams, who also goes by Kee, was reported missing on June 20.

Williams’ mother Sherice Snowden spoke with FOX 8 Saturday afternoon regarding her missing child.

************
Snowden said Williams first went missing after attending a house party on June 17 on Gertrude Ave. She says his location went off at Washington Park, but the SIM card was removed from his phone. Police later said he might have been kidnapped on June 23.

“Keshaun never misses church on Sunday,” Snowden said. “He never misses boxing practice. Always going to come home to eat, because he loves to eat. He would have text me; he would have called me.”

Police originally believed Keshaun may have been traveling in a black Jeep SUV with persons unknown, but confirmed late Saturday night the vehicle was not involved.

***********

 

[imstilla.grandma]

“He was like, ‘Mom, I’m happy to hear your voice. You want me to come home?’ I said, ‘Yes, come home right now. I worked the graveyard shift so I dozed off,’” Snowden said.

Williams then reportedly spoke with his aunt in the middle of the night, just a few hours after the call with his mom.

“My sister said he called her at 1:00 a.m. and she couldn’t make out what he was saying. He was just talking all over the place,” Snowden said.

“Please let my child come home. My child is a good kid. He goes to church every Sunday. That is the only child that I have. I just lost two brothers to violence. That’s all that I have. Can you please return my child? Let my child go? Keshaun if you are able to see this Mommy loves you. I need you home. I just want to hug you. Please come home,” Snowden pleaded.

Odd indeed. The only time I've seen a press conference canceled was when the person was located or was otherwise not involuntarily missing or there were details the family wasn't wishing to make public at the time. No idea on this one - hopefully, these is more info of a positive nature for this young man soon.

[GraceG]

Link for the rescheduled press conference that was today. Nothing much new as far as information. The only thing I was left questioning was if he had called his Mom on the 17th from the party that he was on the way home, why a 3 day wait to report to LE that he was missing? Perhaps that gap is explained elsewhere in this thread. My heart goes out to his Mom, she's obviously very concerned and loves him very much.

Cleveland Family Center provides update on missing 15-year-old at center of Amber Alert

The Cleveland Family Center gave an update on missing 15-year-old Keshaun Williams days after an Amber Alert was issued.

www.news5cleveland.com

Video of the news conference in the article is 20 minutes long.

From the video:

• Keshaun's mother said she called him the night of the party around 10:30 p.m. and told him to come home, but he didn't show up that night or on Sunday. “He goes to church every Sunday. He works at the church.”
• She also said they communicate every day, this is the longest they've been away from each other, "this is very irregular," and that Keshaun is very good at school, does gardening, and is very involved.
• She says they've checked surveillance cameras in the surrounding area, spoken with neighbors, and Keshaun's grandmother has even canvassed the neighborhood.
• Friends saw Keshaun at the end of the party but somehow they got split up and Keshaun was left behind.
• She said everything was good at the time he disappeared - she just braided his hair, they cooked breakfast together which they do every morning, they have a lot of movie time together, everything was great, so she is very blindsided by all of this.
• Keshaun is in the 10th grade and has good grades in school. The principal, teachers, and kids at school have been calling. Keshaun is a very bright student.
• Keshaun's mother was unaware that he was going to attend the party.
• Keshaun works the front desk at church. He goes to boxing every day.
• Keshaun's boxing coach described him as a dedicated athlete that never missed practice. If Keshaun doesn't have a way to get there, he calls someone to get him there.
• The coach says he doesn't go anywhere without his mother's permission.

From the article:

• One reason she’s worried is that she said police told her gang members were at that party and gave him alcohol.
• There have been reports that Keshaun was seen in Tower City and at a Marathon station, but the family says camera footage didn't show him; he was nowhere to be found.
• A $1,500 reward is being offered by an anonymous source for his safe return.

“He was seen at the end of the party but somehow they got split up and he got left behind,” Snowden said. “After the party, everything is a blur. So that’s why we’re trying to get concrete information about who was at the party.”

Snowden said her son is a charming, smart boy who goes to church every Sunday. He even works the church’s front desk, she said.

$1,500 reward offered for info about missing Cleveland teen

Police are investigating the case as a possible abduction, Newburgh Heights Police Chief John T. Majoy said Wednesday at a news conference, and the Amber Alert issued for Keshaun after his June 17 disappearance remains active.

Keshaun's mother, Sherice Snowden, said family members have desperately tried calling his phone ever since but it goes straight to voicemail.

“Me and Keshaun always keep in contact. He calls me every day. We’re very big on communication. He’s never been away from home for this amount of time. This is very irregular of my son to not return home because we keep in contact and are very close,” Snowden said at a news conference Wednesday at the Cleveland Family Center for Missing Children and Adults.

“Please Keshaun come home," Snowden said. "If anybody his whereabouts or if anybody has my child, can you please let me child come home. Keshaun has a whole life ahead of him … Keshaun is all I have, that’s my heart.”

I just went to the Ohio Amber Alert site to see if the alert had been amended as far as the vehicle info and it shows "no active alerts." ??
