Search for missing Immokalee boy gets national attention

By Tami Osborne, WINK News

IMMOKALEE, Fla. - As authorities scaled back their ground and air search for a missing Immokalee boy, word of his disappearance made national news.

6-year-old Adji Desir disappeared after going outside his Farm Workers Village home to play on Saturday evening.

Since then, hundreds of law enforcement agents and volunteers have searched an 8-mile area of Immokalee by foot and by air for the little boy. So far, they've found nothing.

On Monday night, a Collier County Sheriff's investigator appeared on CNN's Nancy Grace show by telephone to talk about the case.

At this point, the Sheriff's Office says they continue to look at all possibilities. Right now, they say there is no evidence to say that Adji did not simply wander off, but they still have not ruled out kidnapping either.

Authorities say they plan to resume their ground search at daybreak.
