Worries Mount for Missing Huntsville Teen: HUNTSVILLE, Ala. The family of 15-year-old JaMarious Logan is grappling with the fact that authorities opted not to issue an amber alert when he disappeared on September 25.
Despite investigators expressing concerns that Logan, also known as ‘June’ to his family, is in imminent danger, they have not publicly disclosed the specific reasons for this belief.
On September 29th, four days after Logan reportedly went missing, Huntsville Police sought the publics help in locating him, but no amber alert was issued.
Authorities stated that they believe Logan is in danger, meeting one of the criteria for a national amber alert, which includes:
1. Authorities believe the child may have been abducted.
2. The child was 17 years old or younger.
3. The child is in imminent danger of injury or death.
4. Theres enough information about the child and abduction for an alert.
In a statement to News 19, a Huntsville police department spokesperson said, “Investigators are aggressively working to locate Logan using all investigative techniques and resources available. An Amber Alert was not issued because the case does not meet the national criteria.” The HPD did not specify which criteria were lacking.
The teen’s mother, Laqueta Hurt, is doing everything in her power to search for any sign of her son, but they are discouraged by the lack of public notice.
With them not saying nothing or giving me anything, I feel like Ive got to do something and its not happening, said Hurt. I need all of the help that I can get to locate my son. Anybody that is willing and able and would want to help I accept everyone more than freely.
Logan was last seen in the Huntsville area surrounding the L-R Patton Apartments. He is described as 56″ tall, weighing 130 pounds, with black hair and brown eyes. He was last seen wearing grey sweatpants, a blue hoodie with yellow writing, and black and white sneakers.
