Missing six-year-old boy found after stranger recognises him 2,000 miles away from home

A six-year-old boy who was missing for two months has been found safe after a stranger recognised him 2,000 miles away from his home in a supermarket. Jorge “Jojo” Morales was reported missing in August by his devastated mother, Yanet Leal Concepcion, after his father broke their custody agreement by not returning him home.

Jorge was eventually found in Canada, 2,000 miles away from his Miami home, by the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP), reports the Mirror. Officials looking for the missing child believed him to be in east Canada or Maine after a car belonging to his father, Jorge Morales, was discovered in Maine.

The FBI also found security footage from a Walgreens store which showed the child had been in Maine with his father. However, a sighting in another supermarket proved to be vital, with investigators stating a tipster spotted Jojo and his father at a Walmart in Moncton, Canada after seeing media coverage.
