New search for Adji

http://www.winknews.com/news/local/42080142.html

It's worth noting that 6 year old Adji is a special needs child!

Investigators say the boy is developmentally disabled and functions on a two-year-old level.

He has a very limited vocabulary - he knows his name, but cannot speak it. Adji also understands Creole, but cannot speak it.

Thanks for that Twiggy. So worrying ! where is the news about this little boy?

Sheriff’s Office now relying on tips to find 6-year-old boy a week after he went missing

IMMOKALEE — The ground search for Adji Desir was called off as of 8 p.m. Saturday night and the investigation will continue through tips, said Collier County Sheriff’s Office spokeswoman Jamie Mosbach.

“We are following up on all tips and leads,” she said. “No matter how small or insignificant you think they are, we want to hear them.”

About 200 tips have come in since the 6-year-old boy was reported missing Jan. 10. The Sheriff’s Office has been able to rule out about half of the tips so far, and is still looking through the rest, Mosbach said.

The command center has been moved from the Farm Worker Village where the boy was last seen to the Collier County Sheriff’s Office Immokalee substation.

Adji, who has been described as developmentally disabled with the mind of a 2-year-old, disappeared from outside his grandmother’s Farm Worker Village home at 814 Grace St.

In the week since the child’s disappearance, about 30 state, federal and local agencies and more than 1,500 people combed Immokalee’s eight square miles and beyond.

More than 50,000 fliers were distributed by the U.S. Postal Service and National Center for Missing and Exploited Children.

Electronic messaging systems were activated, Mosbach said, as well as reverse 911 calls notifying residents of Adji’s disappearance.

Because there had been no indication of an abduction, such as a description of a suspicious person or vehicle, an Amber Alert could not be issued.

Adji’s case garnered national television attention on crime show “America’s Most Wanted” and CNN’s legal talk show “Nancy Grace.”

Contact Southwest Florida Crime Stoppers at 800-780-TIPS (8477) or the Sheriff’s Office at (239) 793-9300.
