Rilya Alert: 18-month-old Amir Jennings
Missing Thanksgiving Holiday 2011
COLUMBIA, SC
- The mother of a missing child has been arrested and charged unlawful conduct towards a child after police say she gave false and inconsistent information to investigators on the child's whereabouts.
Authorities say 18-month-old Amir Jennings was last seen by his family members during the Thanksgiving holiday.
The mother, 22-year-old Zinah Demaris Jennings, is currently at the Alvin S. Glenn Detention Center following a hearing where bond was set at $150,000 surety.
Initially, police say, Zinah's family members were worried that Zinah and the child had gone missing after being unable to get in touch with the pair earlier in December. A missing persons report was then filed on both Amir and Zinah.
On Christmas Eve, according to police, Zinah was involved in a car crash on Millwood Avenue. The responding officer found Zinah in the missing persons directory and immediately asked her about her son.
Investigators say Zinah gave false and inconsistent information to the officer.
Amir remains missing and police are looking for any leads that might help them locate the child.
If you have any information on the whereabouts of Amir Jennings, you are asked to call Crimestoppers at 1-888-CRIME-SC.
