Albertville police are looking for a 5-year-old child abducted in a stolen car Monday morning.
The mother pulled up to the convenience store at 6:12 a.m. and left the child inside the car when she went in the store. At some point, a blue pickup truck pulled up to the store. The man jumped out of the pickup truck and jumped into the car.
Both vehicles then left the scene. Police did not have a description of the person driving the pickup truck. (Sand Mountain Reporter)UPDATE: Terrible news is being reported from Etowah County
The body of 5 year old Geontae Glass was found deceased in the trunk of a car one day after he was abducted. Just another terrible, senseless murder.
A 5-year-old boy who was asleep in the back of a car when it was stolen from a parking lot was found dead Tuesday morning in a neighboring county, authorities said.
The body of Geontae Glass was discovered in a rural area of Etowah County, said a dispatcher for that county’s sheriff’s department, who did not give her name. Officials planned to release details at a midmorning news conference, she said.
Alabama state troopers announced only that an Amber Alert for the boy had been canceled. An FBI spokesman did not immediately return calls seeking comment.
The Gadsden Times reported that the boy was found in the trunk of a car at a home in the Mountainboro community. (Worcester Telegram)

What a terrible story!
It reminds me of the Susan Smith case in a way. At first I thought that the thieves would have put the 5 yr old to safety somewhere then run away. But then to read that his own mother is involved in this?
WTF?
I hope she fries (if found guilty after trial,obviously. So does her accomplice.

When I heard about this case, I was disgusted with the parents. Why would you want to kill a helpless, innocent child?
Needless to say, they’ll burn in hell for this.
May Geontae rest in peace.
