Authorities said that a photo of a man, girl and van has no connection to the Cumberland County disappearance of young Dulce Alavez — but that the public shouldn't stop looking and sending info.
Police chief Michael Gaimari said the staff at Inspira Hospital where the boy was initially treated praised the action of the responding officers for saving the boy's life.
The 23-year-old was last seen in Bridgeton in the early morning hours of Friday. His aunt told 6 ABC Action News he went to his job at a group home in Sicklerville on Thursday and then went out with friends.
A man and a juvenile were struck and killed by separate NJ Transit trains on the North Jersey Coast Line, while two drivers and a pedestrian also died in incidents, police said.
A ceremony is planned for one week before Christmas to light "Dulce's tree," referring to the then 5-year-old girl who disappeared from a city park in September 2019 and has not been seen since.
