On 2/08/2008 at approximately 1700 hours, Santa Rosa County Sheriff’s Deputies were dispatched to 6690 Deception Road, Harold, FL, in reference to a missing child. The complainant, who is the grandmother of the child, called and stated that her 6 year old autistic grandson had wandered away from the house. She stated that the child walked out the back door of the residence and climbed a fence. Before she could get to him, she couldn’t find him. The child is being identified as Aaron Jones. He has light brown hair and blue eyes and was last seen wearing a yellow shirt and dark pants with no shoes. Deputies have been searching the remote area with their K-9’s, four-wheelers, foot patrol, along with blood hounds from the State Prison and Escambia County Air-One. Santa Rosa County Search and Rescue as well as local fire departments are also assisting in the search. The Sheriff’s Office will continue their search until the child is located. Anyone with information concerning the location of the child is asked to call the Santa Rosa County Sheriff’s Office at 983-1190 or 911.
Deputies also want help in locating the child’s mother, Jennifer Jones, who’s last known location was in Pensacola, Florida. Any public assistance in this matter would be greatly appreciated.
A photograph of the child is attached to this email.
