Donovan may be in the company of Joseff Rhodes, a black male, 41-years-old, 5 feet 6 inches tall. Rhodes believes he is Donovan's father.

Amber Elizabeth Carruthers, Donovan's mother, was murdered in Orlando on June 18, 2017. A suspect was arrested and charged with her murder.

I'm assuming they have reasons to assume Donovan might be with Rhodes... and if Rhodes believes he's his dad, then maybe Donovan will at least be somewhat safe - I just hope so, anyway. As opposed to him being with someone who just might want to get rid of him...

Ugh... this is so sad. Who knows how this poor boy's life has been so far. I hope they find him safe.

Oh, ugh!

Snipped from article:
"Authorities are looking for both Donovan Carruthers and 41-year-old Joseff Rhodes of Davenport and wouldn't say if Rhodes was a suspect in the slaying.

There was no word on why the missing child alert was issued Tuesday instead of earlier.

Rhodes has a criminal history of prostitution and human trafficking."
