In My Thoughts Eddie Salazar
Eddie Salazar pleads not guilty to false report charge
Decked out in red and white-striped prison suit and showing no visible emotion on his face, Carthage resident Eddie A. Salazar, 29, quietly entered a plea of not guilty to a false report charge during a video teleconference sentencing Thursday morning inside Associated Circuit Court Judge Richard B. Copeland’s courtroom.
Salazar is accused of making a false report to Carthage police officers that his baby boy, Eddie Salazar Jr., was kidnapped by two masked men — one wielding a knife — who broke into his house at 227 E. Mound St. Friday night and overpowered him before beating him unconscious.

Eddie Salazar, Jr.
My heart felt condolences go out to Eddie Jr.'s Mother and family. When will our children be safe with adults, and for goodness sakes their parents ?
In my opinion this country does not punish the monsters who walk among us taking our children's lives.
If they would punish these people to the highest degree maybe some of this would stop. We need to make examples of people who abuse or take lives of innocentand defensive children, maybe just maybe this would get through to these freaks that this country will not stand for this !!!
My prayers are with little Eddie's family.
Sincererly,

24 Hours After Carthage Boy Goes Missing Police End Ground Searc
It's been almost 24 hours since a Carthage baby was reported missing, and it's unclear whether police are any closer to finding him than when the search began.
Police say they still believe they will find 8-month-old Eddie Salazar alive, but the odds of that happening in the woods, water, dumpsters- anything within close proximity to the child's home- are getting slimmer.
A major hang-up has been a lack of eyewitnesses. Few neighbors on Carthage's Mound Street knew anything out of the ordinary was going on, until it had.
Right now the thorough ground searching is over.
Efforts are being focused outside the immediate area of Salazar's disappearance, which has the whole neighborhood second-guessing the familiar.

Police continue search for missing 8-month-old boy
Carthage police on Friday were investigating a report of two masked men breaking into a home, assaulting a man and abducting the man's 8-month-old son, Eddie Salazar.
Two men wearing ski masks reportedly broke into the family's home late Thursday while the father was sleeping, Carthage police said. The man was beaten unconscious, and the house was ransacked before the boy was taken.
Police chief Greg Dagnan said officers spent the night verifying the kidnapping. He said it was clear there had been a forced entry and the father had been knocked unconscious.
"We've spent all night talking to family members and trying to find any connection to anyone who might have wanted to take the child," Dagnan said. "But to tell you names of suspects, I can't do that right now."
Officers from the Missouri State Highway Patrol and area police departments were fanning out across the area searching for the baby.

Father told of struggle with masked men
The reported kidnapping of Eddie A. Salazar from his home at 227 E. Mound St. triggered an Amber Alert early Friday morning and a massive search by law enforcement agencies in four states. The search continued into the night Friday without the infant having been located or his abductors identified.
The parents are Hispanic and speak some English, but investigators were using an interpreter out of a concern with maintaining clear communications with them The father of the missing baby reportedly had gone to sleep at the time of the incident. The mother of the child was at work. The father was awakened by the home invasion and knocked unconscious during the struggle. He recovered shortly thereafter and placed a 911 call for help at 11:04 p.m.
A command post was set up outside the family’s home Friday morning and a search of a 20-block radius was carried out by officers in cars and on foot. More than 100 officers from the Carthage, Joplin, Webb City and Carl Junction police departments, the Jasper County Sheriff’s Department and Missouri State Highway Patrol were assisted by students from the Missouri Southern State University police academy in the immediate search of the area.
The searchers on foot had little to go on. Police had no suspect-vehicle information and could not even be certain any vehicle was involved in the abduction. They were basically looking for the child on the chance that the abductors may have dropped him off somewhere after leaving the house. They also had eyes out for any physical evidence that might be connected to the incident.
Investigators are viewing the reported abduction as an “isolated incident” and not one that should raise undue alarm among residents about the safety of their children.
