Just some updated news. It seems every time I post a new missing case they are found shortly after I post. I am hoping this is true in this one.

Please come home Joey!

Police say Joey is on the autism spectrum and they used crews from area agencies and search dogs to look for him in the neighborhood. Just after 8 a.m., a man at the nearby Clear View Apartments spotted a child's head peeking over the steering wheel of his neighbor's car parked in the lot.

"When I came down the stairs, he was describing him, and I said, 'No, that’s the baby that’s missing,'" said Delores Gardner, the car's owner. "So I ran and I immediately, before we got down the steps, told him to call 911. I got to the car and the baby was sitting in my car."

I am glad the people were aware that Joey was missing. Normally we wouldn't want people to have their cars unlocked. This time it worked out.
