One kid missing is one too many: John Majoy

Newburgh Heights Police Chief John Majoy weighs in on reports more than 1,000 children have gone missing in northern Ohio on 'Sunday Night In America.'

Idaho authorities are looking for "an armed and dangerous homicide and kidnapping suspect" in connection with the abduction of a baby from a residence in Victor.

Teton County officials have issued an Amber Alert in Idaho and Wyoming for the missing 10-month-old child, Zeke Gregory Best, and are searching for Jeremy Albert Best, who "is believed to be driving a black 1995 Chevrolet Tahoe SUV with Idaho Plates 1T39349."

Just before midnight on Thursday, the Teton County Sheriff’s Office responded to a 911 call reporting a disturbance from a residence on the 4600 block of Skyline Loop. 

When officers arrived, they located a deceased woman, identified as Zeke's mother, Kali Jean Randall. Authorities are investigating the 38-year-old's death as a homicide and have named Jeremy Best, 48, as a suspect in her death.
