Cops: Missing West Windsor boy, 5, has chronic illness

WEST WINDSOR — The
quest to find David Lundy, the 5-year-old West Windsor boy who was
allegedly kidnapped Friday evening, grew more urgent today after police
learned the boy suffers from a chronic illness, authorities said.

The Mercer County Prosecutor’s Office said late Friday the boy may have been abducted by his grandfather.

“All the officers are being extremely vigilant to bring David back
as soon as possible. I would also add there is a great potential for
danger, because of a chronic illness that could go untreated,” Mercer
County Assistant Prosecutor Angelo Onofri said today.

Onofri declined to clarify the specific nature of the medical
problem faced by the boy who, until recently, attended preschool at
Maurice Hawk Elementary School.

“There is enhanced concern because we do not know whether young David has his medication and is taking it,” Onofri said.
A felony warrant for kidnapping was issued for Morris “Tommy” Lundy
today, according to the National Center for Missing and Exploited
Children.

Authorities described David Lundy as a light-skinned African
American boy, with short, sandy hair, approximately 3 feet, 4 inches
tall and weighing 55 pounds. He was last seen wearing a white and green
shirt and blue cargo shorts.
The boy’s grandfather, Morris Lundy, is described as an African
American male, 5’ 10”, 180 pounds, with hazel eyes. He was last seen
with a shaved head, police said.

Volunteers, police, and teams of search dogs combed areas of woods outside the boy’s home on the 400 block of Meadow Road.
Investigators believe Lundy, 50, a resident of New York, may still
be in the area or he may have traveled to Brooklyn or Binghamton, N.Y.

“Officers continue to follow leads and search areas of interest,” Mercer County Assistant Prosecutor Angelo Onofri said.

Investigators have been in contact with the Lundy family, Onofri
said, but he declined to offer details about their contacts with family
members closest to the alleged kidnapper.

Reacting to the boy’s disappearance, the West Windsor Police
Department issued an Amber Alert shortly before 7 p.m. Friday. The goal
of an Amber Alert is to instantly galvanize the community to assist in
the search for and safe recovery of the child.
Since that time, officers with the West Windsor and Lawrence police
departments, the Mercer County Prosecutor’s Office, the county
Sheriff’s Department, the State Police, FBI, and the National Center
for Missing and Exploited Children have been trying to locate the pair,
police said.

Though police had earlier said they do not believe the boy’s
grandfather is likely to physically harm him, Onofri said the quickly
narrowing window of recovering children hours after a kidnapping still
applied.

“You have to treat every missing child case like that,” Onofri said.

Police are asking anyone who has information concerning the case to
contact the West Windsor Police Department at (609) 799-1222.

The search for David Lundy, the 5-year-old West Windsor boy who was
allegedly kidnapped Friday evening, continues as authorities say they
are growing more concerned over the boy's health.


"He has an asthma condition, and as we understand it, it can be
severe at times," Mercer County Assistant Prosecutor Angelo Onofri said
this afternoon.


On Saturday, Onofri first referenced Lundy's medical condition.


"There is enhanced concern because we do not know whether young David has his medication and is taking it," he said.


According to an alert issued by the New Jersey State Police this
morning, the task force searching for the young boy is "now focused on
several locations in Brooklyn, N.Y. that have been deemed relevant to
the case."


The Prosecutor's Office said late Friday the boy may have been abducted by his grandfather.

Police: Grandfather not considered a physical threat to missing West Windsor 5-year-old

WEST WINDSOR – The
teams of investigators searching for 5-year-old David Lundy do not
believe the man suspected of taking him from his West Windsor home
yesterday evening is likely to hurt the boy.

The boy’s grandfather, Morris “Tommy” Lundy, a 50-year-old New York
resident, allegedly abducted his grandson from his township home on the
400 block of Meadow Road at approximately 6:30 p.m. yesterday, police
said.

“There have been no threats of harm to the child in this case,” said
Officer David Barberich of the West Windsor Police Department. “We are
not looking at this as though the child is at risk of being harmed
physically.”

The West Windsor Police Department issued an “Amber Alert,” a
warning system for reporting missing children, shortly before 7 p.m.
yesterday.

Since then, officers with the Mercer County Prosecutor's Office,
Mercer County Sheriff's Department, NJ State Police, FBI, and the
National Center for Missing and Exploited Children have been trying to
locate the pair, police said.

Authorities described David Lundy as a light-skinned African
American boy, with short, sandy hair, approximately 3 feet, 4 inches
tall and weighing 55 pounds. He was last seen wearing a white and green
shirt and blue cargo shorts.

The boy’s grandfather, Morris Lundy, is described as an African
American male, 5’ 10”, 180 pounds, with long black hair and hazel eyes,
police said.

Morris Lundy may be heading to New York State, police said.

Search for Missing West Windsor Boy Focuses on Brooklyn

By John Arthur, Michael Ratcliffe, and Greta Cuyler

Authorities say David Lundy, 5, of West Windsor, missing since Friday night, requires medication for a chronic illness.

Investigators leading a two-state search for a missing West Windsor
boy are now concentrating on Brooklyn, according to New Jersey State
Trooper Christopher Kay.

The Brooklyn focus follows information cited by authorities on
Saturday that the boy's maternal grandfather may have taken him north,
toward New York. A law enforcement alert cited by Kay states: "The task
force investigating the abduction of David Lundy 5, from West Windsor
NJ is now focused on several locations in Brooklyn, N.Y. that have been
deemed relevant to the case."

West Windsor Police Lt. Robert Garofalo said David Lundy was about
to be removed from the home he shared with his aunt on Meadow Road by
New Jersey's Department of Youth of Families, after both she and the
boy's grandfather were determined not to be suitable guardians.

Search teams were active in West Windsor Saturday morning, near
where authorities say the boy was last seen walking with his
grandfather. Onofri described the search as proactive.

At 10:50 a.m. Saturday, a volunteer emergency worker at the search
scene said fire crews had conducted sweeps through the woods near the
boy's home. Searchers walked shoulder to shoulder in a line through the
woods near the apartment complex, the volunteer said, but nothing was
found and volunteers were leaving the scene to law enforcement
personnel.

According to the prosecutor's office, the search, which began with a
7 p.m. alert Friday night, includes personnel from the New Jersey State
Police, FBI, Mercer County Sheriff's Office, National Center for Missing
and Exploited Children and West Windsor Township Police. Local
residences and businesses were being canvassed and police K-9 units
were deployed.

Onofri said a silver Volvo, originally believed connected to the incident, was no longer an object of the search.

Anyone with information about the child’s whereabouts is asked to
call 911 immediately. If you have more information about the abduction,
contact the West Windsor Police Department at 609-799-1222.
