Boy Found In Illinois May Be N.C. Child Missing For Years (UPDATED) Not Him
CHICAGO -- A young boy who was reported as missing more than two years ago from his North Carolina home may have been found in the Chicago area.
The DNA will tell the tale -- but the aunt of the missing North Carolina boy said if a child found in Illinois isn't him, then he has a twin.
Illinois child welfare authorities say it could be weeks before tests determine whether the boy found in Evanston, Ill., is Tristen "Buddy" Myers.
Authorities are trying to make sure that the child they have found in Chicago is actually Myers, (pictured here prior to abduction) before they confirm his identity. DNA tests are being conducted to determine the child's identity.
In February, a man brought a boy matching the same description to St. Francis Hospital, complaining about the child's aggressive behavior. When the man tried to leave with the boy, suspicious staff members called police. The boy was taken into protective custody.
Evanston police discovered the man was wanted for retail theft and took him into custody.
Sampson County, N.C., Sheriff's Sgt. Darold Cox said the boy has the same facial features, scars and speech impediment as Myers.
The boy remained in foster care Monday night as authorities used DNA testing to try to confirm his identity.
Damn, I would not know what to do if my child was gone this long. What would the kid think of me? I don't know how to replace those missing years. Good news though that the kid is going back home.
