Family, friends ramp up search for missing 11-year-old


SALISBURY, NC (WBTV) - Police in Salisbury are still looking for an 11-year-old boy who has been missing for nearly three days.

James Timothy Greene lives with his adoptive parents on Holmes Avenue. The boy goes by his middle name or "Tim", and he has not been seen since Friday night.

Tim's adoptive father said he hopes the boy is somewhere safe.

On Monday, Timothy's cousin, younger brother and friend posted missing flyers around town.

"My gut feeling is a lot of different things. I just hope and pray he is safe," Cousin Whitley Bates said.

Bates estimates they've handed out more than 200 posters. But she's not stopping there.

"I've sent out text messages, posted it on facebook, twitter. They have a kids myspace type thing," Bates said.

Timothy's father said on Monday that what they thought was a promising lead turned up nothing.

An Amber Alert has not be issued for the boy because at this point police do not believe Timothy was abducted. He was last seen wearing a gray hoodie and gray sweatpants possibly over red and blue basketball shorts. He has white and blue sneakers.

Tim is 4 feet, 7 inches tall and weighs 75 pounds. He also has a Mohawk haircut.

If you have seen him, call the Salisbury Police Department at 704-638-5333.

A missing 11-year-old boy may have been spotted in a convenience store surveillance video Monday, offering hope for his family.James Timothy Greene, who also goes by the nickname Tim Tim and his
middle name, Timothy, was last seen by his family at his Holmes Street
residence Friday morning.The surveillance video appears to show the boy entering the Kangaroo Express on Statesville Boulevard in Salisbury.“It’s hopeful,” said Timothy’s adoptive father, James Greene.James Greene and his wife, Crystal, along with many of their relatives have distributed fliers throughout Salisbury.“I felt like today was the day to pass out fliers,” Crystal Greene said Monday.The family printed fliers with Timothy’s picture on them and a general
description of the boy. He is black, has brown eyes and is 4 feet 6
inches tall and weighs 76 pounds. He has a mohawk haircut.He’s believed to be wearing a gray hooded sweatshirt, gray sweatpants or blue jeans and blue and white Nike sneakers.The boy’s adoptive parents contacted area TV stations over the weekend
to report him missing. Salisbury Police also sent a press release to the
Salisbury Post Sunday evening.Police have searched for the boy every day, looking in locations suggested by the family, a police sergeant said Sunday.An Amber Alert has not been posted because so far police do not suspect that the boy has been abducted.

The couple adopted Timothy in 2009 and held an official adoption
ceremony in October 2009. He was living with the couple long before he
was adopted. The Greenes became licensed foster parents in 2009,
something they had been working on since 2008.Timothy’s biological mother was a client of Crystal Greene’s, who is a
hairstylist, as were some of Timothy’s other biological relatives.“He came to live with us in June 2008. He had just turned 9,” Crystal Greene said.Timothy’s biological mother died in 2009, but the Greenes said the child was coping well. The mother’s life had been troubled.The Greenes describe Timothy as a quiet, laid-back child, who loves to play basketball.The child also gets along with other children, the couple said.“He could be a follower,” Crystal Greene said.He attends Overton Elementary.Crystal Greene left the family’s home on Friday morning, while older son
Lamyron, 14, and Timothy were both asleep. When James Greene left the
house that morning, he locked the door while the children were still
asleep.About 9 a.m., Timothy answered the home telephone and spoke with one of
Crystal Greene’s friends. It was something the couple do not allow the
children to do when they weren’t home.The children were never allowed to go outside either, only playing
outdoors when the family was in the yard or watching closely from a
kitchen window.“They don’t roam the neighborhood,” Crystal Greene said.Lamyron told his mother he hadn’t heard Timothy stirring in the house.
The boy’s rooms are in different areas of the home. Lamyron looked into
his younger brother’s room about 10:15 a.m. and didn’t see him.When Crystal Greene’s friend arrived at the house to get her hair done around 10:25 a.m., Timothy was not around.While the surveillance video from Monday offers hope, it is not a clear image, James Greene said.Crystal Greene said the boy in the video has Timothy’s mannerisms, but
when a still image was pulled from the video she wasn’t entirely
convinced it was Timothy.James Greene said other family and even one of Timothy’s teachers saw
the video and said it was the child, but “it’s not definitive,” he said.James Greene coaches boy’s basketball at Southeast Middle School and
said the family is thankful to those from the school and those in the
community who have supported the family through prayers and concern.The story has been spreading on the Internet with family members
creating a group page on Facebook — called Missing James Timothy Greene —
and people are providing links and comments about the search on
Twitter.Police ask that anyone with information about Timothy call 911.

Grandmother of 11-year-old missing boy speaks out

Timothy Green Homecoming Follow-Up 2:11

Missing boy's grandmother speaks out 1:37

Salisbury, NC (WBTV) - The grandmother of an
11-year-old missing boy who returned home Tuesday wants police to
investigate the case further.
WBTV's cameras were rolling when Timothy Greene returned home to his adoptive parents house Tuesday afternoon.
It was supposed to be a happy reunion and for the Greene family, it was.
But something about Greene's body language didn't sit well with many WBTV viewers or his maternal grandmother.
Some people wondered why he didn't seem happy?
"He didn't want to go back, he said he'd go anywhere else," said Carmela McKenzie.
Police found Timothy at his grandmother's house Tuesday afternoon. He'd been missing for nearly four days.
McKenzie says Timothy showed up Tuesday morning. She maintains she has no idea where he spent the weekend.
"I don't know why they are going around saying that, but I was hoping and praying he would come," said McKenzie.
McKenzie says she helped care for Timothy until 2009 when his mother passed away and he was adopted by Crystal and James Greene.
The Greene's were family friends
and Timothy's mother asked them to care of him. McKenzie says since
then, she's only seen him a few times and believed he was doing fine.
Now she questions why he ran away.
"They need to dig into their household, not mine, mine is clean on this end," said McKenzie.
Timothy's adoptive mother, Crystal
Greene, told WBTV Wednesday that Timothy was doing fine. She maintains
she doesn't know why he left home.
Police say they don't have any evidence to show he isn't in good hands, but the investigation is ongoing.

He needs to be made to feel that it is safe tell the police what is troubling him. I hope LE don't let this one go until they are positive he is ok where he is.

Grandmother of missing boy charged

The maternal grandmother of an 11-year-old boy who went missing for days
last month has been charged with resisting, obstructing or delaying a
police officer and contributing to the delinquency of a minor, Salisbury
Police reported Friday.




Police cited Calarmel McKenzie, 56, of 303 Southern St., East Spencer,
on Feb. 11 for charges stemming from Timothy Greene’s Jan. 14
disappearance. She was not taken to the magistrate’s office or jail
because of her health, police said.Timothy was found Jan. 18, hiding in a locked back hallway of McKenzie’s
East Spencer home. His mohawk had been cut, and he was crying, not
wanting to go back home, police said.Police had been by the grandmother’s home several times asking about
Timothy’s whereabouts, but McKenzie denied he was there and told
detectives she hadn’t seen him in more than a year.The search for Timothy stretched into other counties, and police worked
extra hours on the case in hopes of finding him. Surveillance video
footage from a Kangaroo convenience store was thought to be that of
Timothy and several other boys, but it wasn’t. His adoptive parents,
James and Crystal Greene, had an inkling Timothy was with his family in
East Spencer.McKenzie denied allegations that she had something to do with Timothy’s
disappearance, claiming he showed up at her door Jan. 18, only five
minutes before police stopped by and found Timothy.James Greene said he, Crystal and Timothy have been doing fine since the
disappearance. “We would just like to leave it in the past,” he said.When asked about McKenzie’s charges, Greene remained positive.“We just wish her the best,” he said.McKenzie declined to talk to a Post reporter Friday.These charges are not McKenzie’s first brush with the law, according to the N.C. Department of Corrections.McKenzie has been convicted of resisting an officer, possession of drug
paraphernalia, two counts of possession with intent to sell a schedule
II controlled substance, possession or a firearm by a felon, and two
misdemeanor school attendance law violations.McKenzie is scheduled to make her first appearance in Rowan County court March 7.
