Search continues for missing three-year-old boy

(4/08/06 - KTRK/HOUSTON) (KTRK) -- An Amber Alert is still in effect for a three-year-old boy who's been missing for nearly two days.

The family of the Kendrick Jackson made an emotional plea Saturday for his safe return. Kendrick disappeared Friday morning around 10am from his father's apartment complex on Wilcrest near Briar Forest in west Houston.

Texas Equusearch volunteers spent a second day Saturday combing through the complex. Police have the boy's mother in custody for questioning. Officers may also be questioning Jackson's father and stepmother.

The boy's great grandmother issued this message directly to her great grandson.

"Kendrick, we all love you," pleaded Lucille Jackson. "We are all waiting for you to come home and sugar mama misses you very much."

Police say a woman headed to work spotted a little boy in pajamas at a bus stop with a man and later realized the child may have been little Kendrick.

If you've seen Kendrick or know where he is, you're asked to call Houston police or Texas Equusearch.
