Brooklyn mother of missing boy tells cops son never existed despite tattoo with his name
"Jacob Pritchett was reported missing in October by an Administration for Children's Services (ACS) investigator from his Brownsville apartment located at 614 Howard Ave., yet he had not been officially sighted since April. The mother, 50-year-old Jacqueline Pritchett, has repeatedly told investigators that Jacob never existed, but police are not buying it. We know the kid exists. She's denying it, and it's just a matter of finding him, NYPD Chief of Detectives Joseph Kenny said. We know he exists."
"After obtaining a search warrant for the home, an NYPD canine specialized in discovering bodies combed through the apartment and alerted cops to traces of blood in the refrigerator and on a mattress discarded behind the building in a dumpster. This led officers to trace the garbage disposal to the Waste Management Plant in Green Point, New York, and a High Acres Landfill in Rochester, New York."
An 11-year-old autistic Brooklyn boy, Jacob Pritchett, was reported missing in October and had not been officially sighted since April. The report came from an Administration for Children's Services investigator at the Brownsville apartment on 614 Howard Ave. Jacob’s mother, 50-year-old Jacqueline Pritchett, has repeatedly told investigators that Jacob never existed despite a tattoo of his name. NYPD detectives assert that Jacob exists and now say they do not expect to find him alive. An NYPD cadaver dog alerted to traces of blood in the refrigerator and on a mattress discarded in a dumpster. Officers traced the trash to a Greenpoint Waste Management plant and a Rochester landfill, where police and state officers sifted through millions of pounds of garbage without finding meaningful evidence. Police say there is no record of Jacob attending school and believe he was home-schooled; he was last seen by a family member earlier in the year.
