9-Year-Old Autistic Boy Found Dead in Miami Canal After Mother Reported Him Abducted

I'm smelling a Susan Smith here. Like Susan Smith, she said the scary black men did it. It does not say it in the article, but I was up late a few nights ago when the Amber Alert for this poor boy flashed across the screen. The description given in the Amber Alert of the " abductors" - 2 black men.

I was on the phone at the time, and said to my friend sometimes these Amber Alerts turn out to be custody cases gone wrong. But it is strange that 2 men would kidnap a child. Who gets their buddy to help them kidnap a kid? Now I see this mother's very odd story of how it happened. I don't think mom is telling the truth.

The boy’s mother told police that her son was abducted by a man in a mask demanding drugs, a claim investigators are reportedly still trying to verify.
A 9-year-old severely autistic boy was found dead in a canal in Miami on Friday morning, just hours after his mother told police two men had ambushed her while driving and snatched her son from her vehicle.
The body of Alejandro Ripley, who was non-verbal, was reportedly found just a few miles from where his mother reported the abduction.

Patricia Ripley told police late Thursday that two men in a vehicle had cut her off as she drove with Alejandro, and one in a mask approached her car and demanded she give him drugs. When she told him she had none, she said he snatched her cell phone and abducted Alejandro.
