The Houma Police Department and the Terrebonne Parish Sheriff’s Office are searching the areas of Bayou Terrebonne, as well as the Intracoastal Waterway for Ezekiel Harry. No arrests have been made and further information will be released as it develops, authorities said in a news release late Tuesday afternoon.
Police are conducting interviews and suspect foul play may be involved, according to the release.
Houma Police said they received a call in reference to the possible abduction of a 2-year-old near the 100 block of Mahler Street.
During the investigation, Houma Police contacted the mother, who initially stated she was along Bayou Terrebonne with her kids when a subject in a grey truck passed, grabbed her child and departed the area. Police said its investigation immediately developed information that the report released by the mother was inaccurate.
"Once arriving near the area of Bayou Terrebonne, adjacent from Mahler Street, Maya Jones went to nearby residences stating her kid was abducted," the release said.
A spokesperson with the Terrebonne Sheriff's Office confirmed that the department was assisting with a search near Terrebonne General Medical Center, but could not release any information beyond that.
Law enforcement are searching for a 2-year-old boy from Thibodaux who went missing in Houma.
