Authorities are also talking to Home Depot employees and pulling security footage from the store and surrounding areas.

“She is being interrogated right now. We are also canvassing several areas looking for surveillance tape that might show any vehicles coming in and out,” Miami-Dade police Detective Angel Rodriguez said.

Police said Alejandro’s mother and father are being questioned by detectives as they try to gather more details about what happened. Neighbors told Local 10 News that the family was at the police station all night and hasn’t returned home.

One neighbor described Alejandro, who was nonverbal, as a special boy who liked to play in his yard and with his tablet.

“He was an angel,” the neighbor said. “All I can say is, it’s so painful. It’s very, very painful.”

Antoinette Uribe says her child and Alejandro both went to My Kid Therapy Center in Country Walk, where staff and therapists held a memorial for the 9-year-old victim Friday.

“He was always with a smile, never angry or sad, just the happiest kid in the world,” Uribe said.

A spokeswoman from the Florida Department of Children and Families confirmed to Local 10 News that DCF “had no prior involvement” with the family.

“The tragic loss of this young man is devastating, and our thoughts and prayers are with those who knew and loved him,” a statement from the department read. “We stand ready to support law enforcement during the course of their investigation; however, at this time, the Department of Children and Families (DCF) does not have an open child protective investigation.”

They never even considered this in Maleah Davis's case. Derion Vence accused Hispanic men of kidnapping Maleah. He was never charged with a hate crime for blaming men who were Hispanic.

What on earth? This is such a strange and tragic story.

MIAMI-DADE COUNTY, Fla. – A 9-year-old boy with autism who police said was abducted Thursday night in The Hammocks has been found dead, the Florida Department of Law Enforcement confirmed Friday morning as it canceled an Amber Alert for the child.

Sky 10 was above the Miccosukee Golf & Country Club Friday morning as authorities were conducting a death investigation after a body was pulled from a nearby canal. Police have not confirmed whether that body was that of Alejandro Ripley, although the area is just four miles away from where he was allegedly abducted.

According to Miami-Dade police, the boy’s mother, Patricia Ripley, 47, was driving west on Southwest 88th Street from 157th Avenue when she noticed that she was being followed by a light blue, four-door sedan.

Police said the driver tried to side-swipe Ripley’s car, forcing her to veer onto Southwest 158th Avenue.

The car then blocked her as a passenger got out of the car, ambushing Ripley and demanding drugs from her, authorities said.

Police said Ripley told the man she didn’t have any drugs, at which time he snatched her son, Alejandro Ripley, and her cellphone before getting back in the car and fleeing south.

The driver and passenger of the blue sedan were identified by police only as two black males.

Anyone with information about the case is asked to call Miami-Dade Crime Stoppers at 305-471-8477.

I saw a post on FB that he was abducted, then an hour later that he was found dead.

Waiting for more details. Something doesn’t quite add up.

I agree 100%!

As soon as I read the first paragraph of the mother's story I came straight here to find a thread. I guess I'll go back and finish reading this article now.
Honestly, the first thing that came to mind was the case way back when a white women said two black guys kidnapped her kids but it turned out she had killed them.
I hope and pray the mom is telling the truth, but something in the milk ain't clean from what I've read...

Sigh. This story seems to be following an expected path.

His mother is now a suspect.

As far as I am concerned, this Mother was always a suspect. The story, "two masked men took my child out of my car", is so improbable, to be absurd.

Sadly, children who have disabilities are more at risk for child abuse.

Heartbreaking. She admitted to making up the abduction story and witnesses say they saw her with the boy near the body of water he was later found in.

Poor kiddo. I hope he didn't suffer at the very least.

“Every time I saw Alejandro he was like the happiest kid ever,” said Antoinette Uribe.”Never a frown. He was always smiling.”

Uribe says her son and Alejandro attended My Kid Therapy Center together. She said she saw Alejandro every day. Employees of the center gathered a memorial for Alejandro on Friday afternoon at the Friendship Circle. Uribe said Alejandro appeared especially close to his father.

“Alejandro would be so happy to see his dad,” she said. “He would give him a kiss. They would say ‘I love you.’”

I wonder if the parents are together or not. Did the mom have support and help with him? It seems like it. So did she do this to spite the father for some reason? Ugh no reason is a good reason. I always want answers even though they never make me feel any better.

Couple of years back my friend was on her way home from work (night club) on the highway someone short stopped infront of her quickly, she hit the back of the guys car then another car came from behind n trapped her btw 2 cars. They came out grabbed her ...threw her into their car, robbed her and let her out couple blocks away. So these instances are possible. And others really just drive on by and mind their business.

i even had a similar situation with a car infront of my jeep, it was scary.

I'm glad he was found so quickly. Hopefully that will help verify if his approximate time of death correlates with the story told.

Dead boy’s mother arrested in his murder after lying about abduction

This article says that security footage at the Home Depot showed his mother sat inside the car for about 15 minutes before reporting the abduction, and that Alejandro experienced head trauma (it isn't yet clear if this was the cause of death).

From link above
"She is facing charges of first-degree murder and attempted premeditated murder."

Oy. Poor Alejandro.
