Investigators were looking for the grandfather of a kidnapped 6-year-old boy Friday, saying they believe the abduction may be linked to the man’s drug dealings with Mexican nationals. The boy, Cole Puffinburger, was abducted from a Las Vegas home Wednesday morning by three men posing as police officers. Police said they believe the men were Mexican drug dealers and that the kidnapping at gunpoint was a “message” to his grandfather, Clemens Fred Tinnemeyer.

“Tinnemeyer has stolen a large sum of money, all proceeds from illegal drug activity,” Las Vegas police Capt. Vincent Cannito said.

UPDATE II: Grandfather of Abducted Las Vegas Boy Arrested in Riverside

A little boy from Las Vegas remains missing, and the child’s grandfather remains locked up in the Inland Empire, as police have identified a second “person of interest” in a kidnapping case that may involve drug runners from Mexico.

Although six-year-old Cole Puffinburger remained missing, a national Amber Alert was taken down this morning “because of a lack of significant tips,” said Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Capt. Vincent Cannito.

Grandfather of Kidnapped Nevada Boy Is Arrested

Mr. Tinnemeyer, who had not been heard from by family in several months, is not charged with a crime but is being held in hopes he may lead police to the abductors of Cole Puffinburger.

Captain Cannito said Mr. Tinnemeyer had “stolen a large sum of money, all proceeds from illegal drug activity.”

The kidnappers, Captain Cannito said, “wanted to send a very clear message.”

“Message sent; message received,” he went on. “They’ve got the attention of an entire nation.”

On Saturday, the police called off an Amber Alert for the boy, saying that its effectiveness had run its course. They also had narrowed their search to Southern California and Nevada.

The police were also looking for Jesus Gastelum, a Mexican national in his mid-30’s. Captain Cannito would not say why he was sought. The police said Mexican authorities had been notified of the case.

National Center for Missing & Exploited Children: Amber Alert

Circumstances: Ryan was abducted by his father, Lonnie Ramos, on July 2, 2008. A felony warrant for Kidnapping was issued for the abductor on July 2, 2008. They may be traveling in a red Porsche with license plates 4BWU827 or a white Chevrolet Suburban with license plates 5LTC712 or a 2005 Fleetwood Providence RV with California license plates 5EGW556 similar to the one pictured above. CAUTION IS ADVISED.

Description of father Lonnie Ramos:

  • 46 year old white manLonnie_Ramos
  • about 6 feet 3 inches
  • 180 pounds.
  • He is believed to have rented a 39-foot 2005 Fleetwood Providence purple and gold motor home Wednesday with California license plate No. 5EGW556, Brotheim said.

A man who allegedly shot his estranged wife in the face and fled with his 9-year-old son may have switched his car for a motor home, authorities said Thursday.

An Amber Alert was in effect throughout California for Lonnie Ramos, 46. He was believed to be driving a rented 39-foot purple-and-gold Fleetwood Providence motor home with the license plate number 5EGW556, the Orange County Sheriff’s Department said.

Ramos was possibly in the San Diego area and Border Patrol agents were notified in case he tried to head for Mexico, sheriff’s spokesman Jim Amormino said.

Amormino said Ramos was considered “armed and extremely dangerous.”

Ramos apparently jumped out from behind a car or bushes and shot his estranged wife in the face with a semiautomatic weapon about 6:30 p.m. Wednesday when she drove to his home in the Portola Hills area to pick up their son, Ryan, for a custody exchange, Amormino said. (Fox News)

Police ask that anyone who has information on the shooting and abduction of Ryan Ramos please contact the Orange County Sheriff’s Office at 714-628-7170 or dial 911

The Amber Alert went out to Utah late Friday because Ramos has a girlfriend in Draper, police said. It was canceled at about 1:30 p.m. Saturday. A Wednesday sighting of the motor home in Utah was likely mistaken, Orange County Sheriff’s Department spokesman Jim Amormino said. 

Police are planning to search the motor home, a 2005 Fleetwood Providence, for possible clues and then work with Mexican authorities to pursue Ramos, Amormino said. 

Mexican law prevents its citizens from being extradited to the United States for death penalty charges, but Ramos is neither a Mexican citizen nor a death
