NYC missing child case takes harrowing turn after K9 dog sniffs out family apartment: sources
"A missing child investigation took a harrowing turn in Brooklyn this week when a police dog detected human blood near a refrigerator in the kid's family apartment, law enforcement sources said. The 11-year-old autistic boy was reported missing from the unit on Howard Avenue near Sutter Avenue in Brownsville, prompting ACS to conduct a wellness check on Sept. 25, sources said."
"The case workers searched the home but found no signs that the boy lived there, the sources said. ACS workers made a second visit Wednesday, this time joined by NYPD cops, the sources said. When police asked where the boy was, she flew into a rage and argued with them, according to the sources. NYPD detectives ultimately brought a K9 dog into the apartment, which detected traces of human blood in or around the refrigerator, the sources said."
An 11-year-old autistic boy was reported missing from a unit on Howard Avenue near Sutter Avenue in Brownsville, prompting an ACS wellness check on Sept. 25. The boy’s mother opened the door but did not hand over the child’s birth certificate and was otherwise cooperative. Caseworkers searched the apartment and found no signs that the boy lived there. ACS returned with NYPD officers for a second visit; when police asked about the boy, the mother became enraged and argued. NYPD detectives brought a K9 that detected traces of human blood in or around the refrigerator. The boy was not found and the investigation remains ongoing. The mother was hospitalized as an “emotionally disturbed person” and was not charged criminally by Friday morning.
