A doctor’s appointment brought Helen Jones out of her Allendale house earlier than usual Tuesday morning. While she waited on the porch for her ride, a man came out of a house across the street, got into a green car and drove away.
“Then a little boy came out and looked around,” Jones said. “I said, ‘Wait a minute. I wonder if it was that little boy.’” The little boy Jones wondered about is 8-year-old Darrick Charles Brown, who was abducted while walking with friends Monday night, just a few blocks away from Jones’ house.
A man in the distance scared the little boy back into the house, Jones said, but he came back out a short time later, just after 7 a.m., and began walking toward her.
“When I saw the little boy, and I saw the green car, I said ‘Wait a minute,’” said Jones, who realized that the little boy approaching was the one who had been kidnapped. “Thank God I’d seen the picture on the news.”
