A 5-year-old boy is missing in Lake County, Florida after his grandmother allegedly kidnapped him, prompting amber alert Sunday afternoon, authorities said.
Jace Saunders, 5, was last seen on Wells Avenue in Tavares on Sunday around 1:20 p.m. in Summerall Park, the Florida Department of Law Enforcement (FDLE) said.
Now authorities are looking for 50-year-old Kelly Day-Dasilva. She currently has an active warrant for Kidnapping and child custody interference.
The couple may be traveling in a black Honda Accord.
The alleged abduction comes after the boy’s parents – Taylor Judy and Brandon Saunders – were arrested Sunday on child custody charges, Tavares police said.
The boy was last seen wearing a long-sleeved black shirt with colorful graphics and dark pajama pants, authorities said. He is semi-verbal and has been diagnosed with autism.
“If it is there, DO NOT NAIL. If you have any information, please contact the Tavares Police Department at 352-343-2101 or 911,” the FDLE said.
