Boy Abducted At Gunpoint
Posted Feb 23, 2007


A teenager has been abducted at gunpoint from a bus stop in what may have been a frightening random “crime of opportunity,” according to the Manatee County Sheriff’s Office. An AMBER Alert has been issued for the boy, an indication that investigators believe he is in danger.



According to sheriff’s spokesperson Dave Bristow, 13-year-old Clay Moore was kidnapped at 8:51 a.m. near the entrance to the Kingfield Estates subdivision in Parrish area. The bus stop is located at the intersection of Old Tampa Road and Douglas Hill Place.



THE CHILD: Clay Moore, is described as 5 ft. tall, 100 pounds, with long light brown or blonde hair. He was last seen wearing a green polo shirt and a black jacket, both of which have a Manatee School of the Arts emblem, and khaki pants. He was carrying a red backpack, according to the AMBER Alert.



Bristow said a man armed with a gun approached several students at the bus stop and was able to abduct Moore. Deputies will be interviewing the other students about the situation, Bristow said.

THE SUSPECT: is described as a 5 ft. 7 in. tall Hispanic man in his 30s with short dark hair and a dark mustache. He was last seen in black glasses and blue jeans.

Other youngsters at the bus stop told authorities that the man was driving a small red or maroon truck, said to be an older model pickup with an extended cab.

The AMBER Alert says the suspect “should be considered armed and dangerous.”

Moore’s classmates are being questioned about details of the kidnapping. “We’re continuing to interview them to see if they can remember additional information,” said Manatee County Sheriff Charlie Wells.

Anyone with information about Moore or the suspect is urged to immediately call the Manatee County Sheriff’s Office or 911.

Feb. 23, 2007 at 11:57 AM I hope they find him.  I can't believe someone would do something like that.  If ya check out my post "What kind of people are in your neighborhood"  there is a link to a website created by John Walsh...you can type in your address and see where all of the sex offenders are in your area...it'll show you a map, so you can see just how close they are & you can also keep up on amber alerts & sign up for alerts of new offenders in your area.  They've got alot of great information on protecting your kids.  I think this is the worst nightmare for a parent.
