Summary
Florida boy, JoJo Morales, 6, missing after being kidnapped by his religious fanatic dad. Police believe 45-year-old Jorge Morales planned his disappearance act for more than a year, before taking his autistic son.
The senior Morales' mother, 68-year-old Lilliam Pena Morales, is also missing. Mom Yanet Concepcion arrived at her ex-husband's home to pick up her son, finding it empty.
Last week, a private investigator working the case found an abandoned SUV containing items belonging to the little boy — in Maine very near the Canadian border. The Florida Department of Law Enforcement has issued an Amber Alert for JoJo, and US Marshals have offered a $10,000 reward.
