Ohio has issued a statewide Amber Alert for a woman who allegedly kidnapped her foster son.

The state of Ohio was thrown into a frenzy when news of a missing child and their foster mother spread like wildfire. 5-year-old Darnell Taylor and his caregiver, Pammy Maye, were nowhere to be found after a night of mysterious circumstances. According to ABC News, there are concerns for the young boy's safety due to alarming statements made by Maye before her disappearance. The Columbus police have issued an Amber Alert in hopes of locating the missing pair, and they are pleading for assistance from the public.

At a press conference, Columbus Deputy Police Chief Smith Weir revealed that Maye's husband called 911 at 3 AM on Wednesday morning. He reported that Maye had woken him up and made statements that led him to believe Darnell was either injured or in danger. Although the police did not disclose the exact nature of Maye's statements, her husband informed them that she had left in their grey 2015 Jeep Cherokee. The officers searched the house immediately after receiving the call, but they found no trace of the missing child. The abandoned Jeep was later discovered in Brooklyn, Ohio, about two hours away from their residence.

The Amber Alert was issued at 5 AM, and authorities have been actively searching for Taylor and Maye ever since. Despite checking the known addresses of their family and friends, they have had no luck in finding them. Police Chief Elaine Bryant made an emotional plea during a press conference, stating that they have no idea what they are dealing with and are desperate for any information from the public.

Maye is described as a 4-foot-9 woman weighing approximately 115 pounds, with long brown hair. She was last seen wearing a green floral nightgown and pink shoes. Darnell, on the other hand, may be dressed in Spiderman pajamas and white boots. Maye's husband is cooperating with the police as they search for evidence in their home. The couple has been foster parents to Darnell since May 2023, and authorities are trying to reach out to the young boy's biological parents.

In a separate case, a disabled teenager has also been reported missing in DeKalb County, adding to the growing concern for missing children in the state. The police are urging anyone with information to come forward and help bring Darnell and the disabled teenager home safely.
