Missing and Murdered Children

Update: March 5, 2007 1:20 a.m. PST

CBS4.com is reporting this evening that Craig Jones has been located safe:

“The search for a Florida City juvenile who had been missing has a happy ending. Police say they have found the missing 13-year-old on Sunday night.

Police had been searching for Craig Lamar Jones Jr. since left his home at 917 SW 8th Place on Saturday around noon. His mother learned later in the day that he never arrived at his job in Homestead and began searching for him.

After he failed to return home Saturday night, she notified police who began searching for the missing boy.” [Source]

This is good news!

Original Post:

There isn’t much information about this case other than the missing poster distributed this afternoon by The National Center for Missing and Exploited Children.

The information on the poster states the following:

Craig went missing the afternoon of March 3, 2007, from his home in Florida City, Florida. He was last seen wearing a black shirt, blue jeans and black tennis shoes. He may be traveling on a light purple girl’s bicycle.

Description:

Craig Jones

• DOB: Jan 21, 1994
• Age Now: 13
• Sex: Male
• Race: Black
• Hair: Black
• Eyes: Brown
• Height: 5′1″ (155 cm)
• Weight: 120 lbs (54 kg)

There must be more to this story or this case would have been classified as an endangered runaway due to the age of the child.

I will keep looking for information to post. As of this writing there is no Amber Alert issued for Craig Jones.
