Summary
Florida boy, JoJo Morales, 6, who was kidnapped by his religious fanatic dad and his grandmother, has been found.
Police say the boy was found safe 2,000 miles away in Canada. A private investigator working the case found an abandoned SUV containing items belonging to the little boy — in Maine very near the Canadian border.
Morales went missing after his father failed to return the child to his mother as part of their custody agreement. A tipster spotted JoJo at a Walmart.
Police believe 45-year-old Jorge Morales planned his disappearance act for more than a year, before taking his autistic son.
Yanet Concepcion tells Crime Stories she will be reunited with her son tonight.
