Search teams to use drones to look for missing 2-year-old <\/p>\n
The Liberty County Sheriff's Department said it has suspended the search for 2-year-old Devon Davis. <\/p>\n
An Amber Alert was issued for Davis on Tuesday. Liberty County sheriff's deputies said Devon wandered off into a wooded area while his mother, April Davis, and 1-year-old sister were napping at their new home in the Sam Houston Lake Estates area near Tarkington at about 3:30 p.m. <\/p>\n
Davis said she found the door open and her son was gone. Investigators said Davis told them that Devon opened a latch on the door. <\/p>\n
Searchers have spent days looking for the toddler. Before the search was called off, searchers used a drone to try to look for signs as to where he may be. <\/p>\n
\"The best benefit of that is unmanned and it can fly for hours,\" Liberty County Sheriff's Capt. Rex Evans said. \"Whereas the aircraft that we've been able to have come over can only stay for a short amount of time.\" <\/p>\n
The drone is like a miniature plane with cameras that will fly around and take pictures of the area. <\/p>\n
Davis appealed to the public for help on Friday. It was the first time she spoke to the media. <\/p>\n
\"I'm April. I'm Devon's mom. If you know anything, if you've seen anything, please just call somebody. Bring him home with me. He needs to be home with his family. Somebody has to know something, somewhere. Please, help me find my son,\" April Davis said. <\/p>\n
Davis said her son was recently ill and asked that he be taken to a hospital if he's found. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
