Well, that clears everything up... not. Sigh. At least it's an update of sorts. Too many silent days have gone by.During a news conference on Monday afternoon, Capt. Mark Burgmann said the police department is working tirelessly to bring the child home.
"We've put a tremendous amount of resources to this, probably more resources than we've ever devoted to any other investigation I've had here in the past over 40 years," he said.
The toddler is described as three feet tall and weighing 32 pounds with a thin build, light brown complexion, with brown eyes and black hair.
The toddler's grandmother, Kimberly Hill, told Action News that King's stepfather had the boy since the end of May.
The stepfather was to drop King off at the mom's house in two weeks for the toddler's birthday.
Instead, the mom received a text from the stepfather that set off the search for her son. The stepfather said a babysitter had dropped off King.
"She gets a text saying, 'Did you get the baby? She dropped him off at 33rd and Diamond.' That's the first time we heard of this babysitter. I don't know who this woman is," Kimberly Hill said.

ETA: Can anyone make out the officer's answer to the question of how long the babysitter has been providing child care for King? I can't.
