THE SEARCH FOR BABY BRYAN



THE SEARCH FOR BABY BRYAN

There is an amber alert out for a one month old. Fort Myers police are looking for 28-day-old Bryan Dossantos Gomes. Police now say they may know the motive for the kidnapping. Fort Myers police say they now believe this kidnapping is directly related to the illegal smuggling of the boy's parents into the United States. FMPD says Bryan's mother and father paid to be brought into the United States but didn't finish paying the smugglers. Police say they believe the kidnapping of their child is directly related to the smuggling. They are still looking for the boy and encourage anyone who has more tips to call them at the number below. Here is what police know about what happened the day the boy was kidnapped: Two mothers and their babies were walking down Linhart Road in Fort Myers. A black SUV pulled up and the woman driver asked for directions to Pine Manor. The two adults and the babies got into the car to show her how to get there. Shortly after that, the woman driving the car pulled a knife forcing one mother and her baby out of the car keeping the other mom and her baby in the car. Some time later that mother was found without her baby near Three Oaks Parkway. The initial call about the kidnapping came in around 5 pm Friday. Fort Myers Police are looking for the woman in the black 2 door late model SUV with the baby. Police have given FOX4 a sketch of the woman who is believed to have taken the baby. Stay tuned to FOX4 News for the latest...

Missing and Exploited Children Newsletter

Hi Everyone,

Wow! The end of 2006 is here and the beginning of 2007 is ringing in a New
Year in just a couple more weeks. New years are supposed to be new
beginnings. There are no new beginnings for a family with a missing or
abducted loved one. There is no joyous ringing in of the New Year. No
clanging of the celebratory Champaign glasses at midnight as the crystal
ball reaches zero. There is still the deafening silence, the unanswered
questions, the not knowing when their child will be coming home.

Perhaps it will be in the New Year ahead and that little thought brings
just a tiny bit of hope, kind of like the fluttering of the last little
piece of confetti as it gently falls to the ground in silence all by
itself, forgotten.
