Amber Alert--Texas

The AMBER Alert System began in 1996 when Dallas-Fort Worth broadcasters teamed with local police to develop an early warning system to help find abducted children. AMBER stands for America's Missing: Broadcast Emergency Response and was created as a legacy to 9-year-old Amber Hagerman, who was kidnaped while riding her bicycle in Arlington, Texas, and then brutally murdered. Other states and communities soon set up their own AMBER plans as the idea was adopted across the nation.

The Fort Worth Police Department issued the Amber Alert late Saturday after the boy and his mother were apparently abducted from their Fort Worth home on Friday.

Jayden White Underwood, 7 yrs., white male with brown eyes and blond hair.

The boy's mother is Lisa Underwood, 34 yrs., white female, 5'2" with blue eyes and brown hair. She is seven months pregnant, police said.

There is no suspect information at this time.

Police say the two may be in a blue 2002 Dodge Durango with Texas Tag 5GDF19.

Anyone with information is asked to call the Fort Worth Police Department at 817-335-4222 or dial 911.

FORT WORTH, Texas (AP) -- Police searching for a missing pregnant woman and her 7-year-old son said evidence at their home showed they may have been victims of a crime.

Sunday evening, police expanded an Amber Alert for the boy and his mother to Arkansas, Louisiana, New Mexico and Oklahoma.

Lt. Gene Jones would not give details of what they found at the home of Lisa Underwood, but a police report said that relatives checking out the house found a large pool of blood on the living room floor, the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reported in its online edition Sunday.

Underwood and her son, Jayden, were reported missing Saturday afternoon when she didn't show up for a baby shower planned for her at the bagel shop she co-owns.

Jones said concentrated searches were under way.

"We are considering all possibilities. We have given thought to a number of scenarios, and those angles are being investigated," Jones said. "But what really causes us to be concerned for their safety is the evidence located inside the home. We haven't made any conclusive determinations about what happened, but there is a great concern for her safety as well as her son."

Laura Oates, who lives across the street from Underwood, knows the missing woman and child well.

"It broke my heart when I heard she was missing," she said.

here's what came out at the presser. both bodies now found. the killer gave a full confession. he CLAIMS she was blackmailing him for monies , to not reveal to his current girlfriend about her pregnancy. he said he beat and strangled her and when the little boy came in, had to dispose of him as a witness. Texas will surely execute this bastard.

Dang. Nothing good ever comes from blackmail. What a monster to murder them, though.
