10 TV's Kevin Landers was there
when police addressed the media,
and he also spoke with the
child's grandmother and father.
Now he's live at Columbus headquarters
now with their plea for help. Kevin.
Well, good evening.
The the family says it has no
idea why the suspect would steal
a car with two children inside.
The family is just praying that five
month old caisson is found safe.
Police believe he is in danger.
Somewhere a 5 month old
is without his mother,
his twin brother now safe with his father.
He was found
outside. She does my
baby for dead.
Outside in the cold.
5 month old caison Thomas
is nowhere to be found.
Police say he and his brother were
abducted inside a running car while their
mother ran in to get a door dash order
from this donatos in the short north.
Police say Nala Jackson,
a homeless woman from Columbus,
is the suspect.
We spoke to the father as he was driving
around Columbus looking for his other son.
Do you know anything about her?
I have no clue. She is.
He says his other son was found by
police outside the Dayton airport.
Did they say how long he'd been outside?
They say it was about 10 minutes,
no longer than 10 minutes.
The family says it's furious with
police for waiting hours before
sending out a statewide Amber Alert.
Police and OHP say they needed to
make sure it met the criteria and
there was confusion over the make
and model of the car that was stolen.
Columbus police refused to put out an
Amber Alert as many times as we asked.
We didn't get one until almost three
to four hours after they were missing.
This lady has so much time on them right now,
I don't know where my baby is.
Police admit there was a delay.
Obviously I think that in a perfect
world we would love to have had
it out a little bit earlier,
but that our officers did the best they
could dealing with the chaotic scene. Even
the chief of police said she had no idea
of the abduction until the next day,
blaming it on a lack of communication.
There was a lapse in communication.
Had I known we would have
had the press conference last
night or early this morning,
and that's just a reality.
I'm not going to hide it,
I'm not going to sugarcoat it,
but that doesn't mean that the
team wasn't doing the work.
Now police say the last known
sighting of Jackson was in
Huber Heights near Dayton.
They believe it's they're not
sure if she is still there or if
she's driving the same car where
she abducted this child from.
The police are pleading with Jackson
to drop off this child anywhere
safe with no questions asked.
Reporting live outside police headquarters.
