Sigh. No, Please. NOT ANOTHER ONE!
WHY can't people just... deal with it? Fight it the legal way FIRST!

[totallytoddler]

Let's at least hope that if it is his Mom...she took him cuz she loves him and wants to be with him, and not to be a selfish crazy bitch and just want to hurt the Dad by hurting the son in some way.
Obviously I know this isnt right....I'm just thinking its a better chance that he is ok. He will be found and returned. I have high hopes for this little man.

[Valasca]

I just hope he isn't scared by the way mommy and her penis are acting.
I hope he is too young to understand what's going on.

Still nothing updated
Just all the same initial report

Devon Denman found safe in New Mexico following kidnapping

Gallup, NM (KSDK) -- New Mexico authorities are searching for a mother and her new boyfriend who are accused of kidnapping her son, Devon Denman, from Miller County, Missouri, and firing shots at police while the missing boy was inside a stolen vehicle.

Police are searching for convicted felon Elizabeth Denman, Devon Denman's mother, and Mark A. Cochran, a registered sex offender.
New Mexico State Police Lt. Eric Garcia said a trooper tried to stop a vehicle that had a burned out headlight around 12:15 a.m. Mountain Time outside Gallup, in western New Mexico. The trooper determined the car was stolen from Missouri and tried to question the driver and the passenger, but they drove off. Speeds during the chase exceeded 100 miles-per-hour. The suspects' vehicle ran over stop sticks and the tires blew out. The car eventually stopped and the suspects' fired shots at New Mexico State Police officers. No one was injured in the shooting.

Lt. Garcia said Elizabeth Denman and Mark Cochran ran away. Officers checked the vehicle and found the five-year-old boy in the backseat. He was not hurt and was taken into protective custody by the New Mexico State Police.

Investigators are searching a 200 square-mile area by air and on the ground for Elizabeth Denman and Mark Cochran.

Gallup, New Mexico is nearly 1,000 miles from the boy's father's home in Lake Ozark, Missouri.

Detectives and a member of the family are expected to be flying out to New Mexico later this morning to get Devon Denman and return him to Missouri.

Larry Denman is the grandfather of Devon Denman. Devon's 20-year-old brother called Larry Denman at 7:00 a.m. to tell him that Devon had been found and that he was safe.

"I'm on top of the world right now," said Larry Denman. "This is the kind of thing that you see on the news and you hear about it happening to other people and then when it happens to you, you think to youself how do you live like this. What do you do? My greatest fear was that they would basically disappear."

Larry Denmon said his grandson's birthday was Sunday and he turned five years old. They plan to have a birthday party when he returns home.

"We are just going to hug him, kiss him and hold him," Larry Denman said.

Authorities issued an endangered person advisory after Devon Denman was taken from his father at gunpoint at his home in Lake Ozark, Missouri on Saturday.

Devon Denman's father was awarded custody last week. The family of Elizabeth Denman thinks it was the trigger.

FBI arrests couple in Arizona for abduction of boy from Lake Ozark MOPREWITT, N.M. -- Federal agents in Arizona captured a man and woman sought for the abduction of a 5-year-old boy from Missouri. FBI agents arrested Elizabeth Denman, 41, and her boyfriend, Mark Cochran, 40, about 2:30 p.m. Tuesday in Phoenix.

The FBI's spokesman in Albuquerque, Darrin Jones, says a weapon was recovered during the arrests, which occurred without incident. Jones says the capture started with a tip submitted to New Mexico state police.

Denman is the mother of Devon Denman, who was found safe on Monday after officers used a spikebelt to stop a car after a pursuit on Interstate 40. The couple fled on foot. Law enforcement officers searched the rugged high desert near Prewitt in northwestern New Mexico for two days.

Cripes, considering the state cops I've observed I'm shocked they didn't shoot each other.
He took off his shirt before he ran (though from that picture I'm fairly certain it was more like a wobble) and wrapped it around her feet (because a shirt wrapped around both of your feet makes for a hasty getaway) in order to protect her tootsies from hitting rough things.

I'm not joking.
