Authorities to Hold News Conference on Fate of Boy Whose Grandfather Has Been Tied to Mexican Drug Ring

Nevada officials have deactivated an Amber Alert for kidnapped 6-year-old Cole Puffinburger. They gave no reason for the cancellation. The Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department announced a news conference to be held at 5 p.m. ET (2 p.m. PT).

Puffinburger was kidnapped Wednesday morning from his Las Vegas home.

His grandfather, Clemens Tinnemeyer, 51, was arrested by the FBI on Friday as a "person of interest" in the case. He was taken into custody in Riverside, Calif., and is being held at the San Bernardino County Sheriff's facility in San Bernardino.

Sounds bad to me... Or maybe the kidnappers are feeling the heat and have demanded the Amber Alert be canceled? God help this little tyke.

Poor, sweet, little boy. He deserved better from his family.

I’ve been following this case on Nancy Grace but her show is reruns on the weekends.

Would appreciate someone letting me know of updates on this case.

I’ve been praying that that precious boy is returned unharmed but fear not.

Thanks,

The Mexican drug mafias already own the Mexican government and have,til now,only kidnapped and murdered American Hispanics close to our borders.

Now with the nothing-taco,drenched-behind-the-ears BHO headed for the Oval Office and amnesty-nut Mexiphile Bush lame-duckwalking out the door,organized crime in Mexico has grown the cojones to terrorize the American “blue eyes” North of the border.

The sad part is,McCain ain’t no damn better on this!

From what I could determine, they are actively searching an area of Las Vegas where they think the boy is being held captive.

So if they are confident the boy is in Vegas, there would be no further need for an Amber Alert.

Gramps must have given them names, addresses, etc.

Can you all say "witness protection program" for the entire family if the boy survives?

drenched-behind-the-ears BHO

And what a set of ears that is!

You’re right. Bush, McCain, Obama...when it comes to Mexico there’s no difference. And most of Bush and McCain’s aliens will vote for Obama.

With the illegal alien invaders now protected and entitled as much to loot the assets of hard working playing-by-the-rules American taxpayers as our own home grown “minority” moochers—to be critical of their predations is every bit as “racist” as telling the truth about BHO.

If Joseph Goebbels had had the foresight to invent political correctness,Hitler would have conquered the world.
