10.15.2009 - Authorities: Leads drying up in missing boy case

[SusanG]

IMMOKALEE, Fla. -- Authorities say leads have become scant in the case of a boy who disappeared from a farm workers village in Immokalee nine months ago.

In conjunction with Adji Desir's 7th birthday Thursday, authorities announced a nationwide campaign they hope will turn up new information about his whereabouts.

Desir's photo will be on national advertising fliers mailed to 75 million homes in November and December.

The boy was last seen playing outside his grandmother's house on Jan. 10. There has been no sign of him since.

Collier County sheriff's Sgt. Ken Becker said leads have slowed to a trickle. He said just two have come in during the past three months and neither was helpful.
