According to the Amber Alert, Delano was kidnapped by a white man and a Hispanic woman, both in their mid- to late-20s.
It's uncommon, Borders said, for African-American infants to be snatched by Caucasians and Hispanics. It's possible but doesn't fit with more typical scenarios and likely would give police pause, Borders said.
In addition, Delano's father, Willie Wilson, who reported that his son was taken from him after he was robbed and pistol-whipped, also was involved in a child-neglect case in Ohio in 2012.
In that case, said Adams of the IMPD, a daughter Wilson had with a different woman was shaken and suffered severe brain damage but survived. The mother was convicted of child neglect and remains in prison; Wilson was not arrested but was present.
Borders said police obviously must take into account and pursue information like that, likely leading to a delay in issuance of the Amber Alert in Delano's disappearance.
Wilson also was briefly arrested after reporting the abductionon an allegation of marijuana possession. However, police consider the drug arrest unrelated to the missing-child case, Adams said, and Wilson was released from police custody about 11:30 a.m. Thursday, according to online court records.
