A 13- year old boy was reported missing four years ago. On Saturday, November 29, he was finally reunited with his mother. According to police, he was taken by his father and step mother and was kept behind a false wall in the Atlanta-area home. Neighbors claim that they would have never seen something like this coming. All those that were interviewed stated that the couple (the father and stepmother) were very nice people and that they showed no signs of suspicion. They also stated that the boy did not seem like he was at all under any distress.
The boy's father, Gregory Jean, 37, and stepmother, Samantha Joy Davis, 42, were arrested and charged with false imprisonment, cruelty to children and obstruction. Three other people were also charged in connection and involvement with the incident.
Police said they had already visited the house in Jonesboro twice to look for the boy starting Friday night after somebody left them a tip telling them to check the home; the police kept the name anonymous. They were unsuccessful in finding the boy the first time because they did not have enough information about the boy. But for reasons that are unknown to the public, the police officers returned to the home. While visiting the second time, the boy somehow got contact with his mother by phone and she was able to tell the police to look behind the wall which happened to be a false wall. Neighbors were still very shocked and felt guilty because they could have helped this poor boy but were not suspicious or aware enough.
