Florida boy, JoJo Morales, 6, who was kidnapped by his religious fanatic dad and his grandmother, has been found.
Police say the boy was found safe 2,000 miles away in Canada. A private investigator working the case found an abandoned SUV containing items belonging to the little boy — in Maine very near the Canadian border.
Morales went missing after his father failed to return the child to his mother as part of their custody agreement. A tipster spotted JoJo at a Walmart.
Police believe 45-year-old Jorge Morales planned his disappearance act for more than a year, before taking his autistic son.
Yanet Concepcion tells Crime Stories she will be reunited with her son tonight.

It's been over five years since two Delphi girls, Abby Williams and Libby German, were murdered near a popular hiking trail across Monon High Bridge. Today, law enforcement announce an arrest in the case as 50-year-old Richard M. Allen remains behind bars, charged with two counts of murder.
The probable cause affidavit has been sealed, so evidence linking him to the crime is not yet available to the public. Allen has pleaded not guilty and is expected back in court in January.
Police say the investigation into the Delphi Murders is still ongoing and the tip line in the case will remain open.

16:03 - Questions: How did he get the fentanyl in his body? Is that a normal way of taking fentanyl? Is that way going to have a different reaction in the body? Would he have tasted it? Does ingesting it offer a different kind of effect?
19:26 - What is skin popping?
24:52 - “There is nothing as an investigator that will make you stop cold in your tracks than an unexpected result at autopsy. It's something that makes you question your abilities. It's something that makes you question the care that you took with the case because this is key: Once the scene has been left, the body has been removed from the scene, and can never reset.”
