Poor little guy - sounds like a sweetie. I hope he's ok...

The press conference this morning revealed that Roji was never even in Smithfield over the weekend, and did not attend the flea market. He was safe with relatives the whole time. They are calling it "a hoax." They're still not saying much. I hope we learn the full story, but at this point, I'm just glad that little boy is safe and whole.

Authorities are also questioning the child's exact name and who his biological parents are.

"There's people involved in this – we don't know, at this particular point, what the relationships are," Gillikin said. "There is a father somewhere. There is a mother somewhere, and that' going to be part of the ongoing investigation.



WTF???

Neighbor talks about boy's case
portion of article:

Rosnah Thomason returned home on Tuesday for the first time since falsely reporting to police Sunday that her 3-year-old son had disappeared from a Smithfield flea market.

Thomason's brother had hoped to see her wed to a man he chose for her to marry, said Carolyn Johnson, a neighbor from whom Thomason and her son's father rented their home. But, Johnson said, Thomason seemed to have been taken aback by her brother's efforts. Thomason is said to have filed a restraining order against her brother in Iowa, where she lived with her son, Siraj Munir Davenport, before moving to North Carolina.

Thomason lives in her Four Oaks home with David Davenport, a zoologist she met while attending school in another state, Johnson said. Davenport was in Vietnam on a work-related assignment earlier this week when he was notified that his son had been reported missing.

Police in Smithfield confirmed on Tuesday that Siraj Davenport is safe and outside the country. The Federal Bureau of Investigation is probing his whereabouts.

Smithfield Police Chief Steve Gillikin would not say where authorities suspect the child might be, but noted that he is with a relative.

Johnson said she told investigators that Thomason left home Friday night in the pickup and didn't return home until the following night. She wondered where Thomason might have traveled in the time she was away.

"The whole thing is just very bizarre," Johnson said.

Gillikin said Tuesday it was too early to tell whether Thomason or anyone else connected to the case might face criminal charges. He did not offer a possible motive for Thomason's false police report.

Wonder if she sent kid away for some reason. If so, why would she call police?
