JACKSONVILLE, Fla — The Jacksonville Sheriff's Office has safely located a two-year-old boy that went missing in the area of St. Johns Bluff Road South Tuesday morning.
Police say the boy was found safe thanks to an observant citizen who noticed the child on his way to work. The two-year-old was reportedly chasing ducks when he was found.
Officers initially responded to an apartment complex in the 3700 block of Saint Johns Bluff Road South around 3 a.m. It was at that time that JSO deployed multiple K-9 units, a helicopter and called for additional investigative units to aid during the search.
