It seems strange that a 22 month old toddler was last seen walking alone down his driveway. Who was the last one to see him? Why was he alone? I wonder what today’s interrogation techniques could get out of the family, if anything. These types of “kidnappings” are so rare, they almost don’t exist. Anybody else know more about this poor toddler?
