Two men posing as police officers kidnapped a 6-year-old boy in a drug dispute after entering his family's home and tying up his mother and her boyfriend, police said Thursday.
An Amber Alert was expanded nationwide as police searched for Cole Puffinburger, who was taken Wednesday, police said.
There is a definite "drug nexus," according to Las Vegas Police Capt. Vincent Cannito "Significant money and drugs" were involved. This child was ripped from the home.
The boy is described as 3 feet 11 and 48 pounds, with blond hair, blue eyes and silver-framed glasses. He was last seen wearing blue jeans, tennis shoes, a black shirt, and a black zip-up sweat shirt with white, black and blue stars.

I feel the same but my amber alerts never get UP. All Amber Alerts are just that I can't understand why Donald Trump or others post like his get posted over a missing child. What's more important? Thank you for the flag and comment.

Las Vegas police confirm that U.S. Marshals have arrested the grandfather of missing 6-year-old Cole Puffinburger in California, and despite canceling an AMBER Alert for the boy, the intense search continues. Police say Clemens Fred Tinnemeyer stole millions of dollars from a Mexican drug cartel, who then kidnapped his grandson.
