The last time Cheryl Jackson saw her son Colin was on his first day of first grade ? the same day his father abducted him. Now more than three weeks later, Anne Arundel County police say they need the public?s help in finding the 6-year-old.
“We?re fairly certain he is with his father. There?s nothing to point in the other direction,” said Cpl. Mark Shawkey, police spokesman. “At this point, there?s nothing to indicate that he?s in any danger.” Cheryl Jackson?s friends, Julie Burnette and Wade Pinder, created a “Find Colin Jackson” Web site with photographs of the boy and his father David Kistler Jackson, 46, of Crofton, who does not have custody of Colin and has taken him without Cheryl?s permission.
A reward fund has been created for information about Colin, and Del. James King, R-Anne Arundel, has organized a conference Monday at the State House in Annapolis to notify the public of the boy?s disappearance.
Police issued a warrant for the arrest of David Jackson and believe he may have taken Colin to Tennessee in a red 1992Chevy Blazer with Maryland tag A184479. Colin was last seen by his mother at about 8 a.m. on Aug. 27. His father was supposed to pick Colin up from school and take him to his home at 1741 Trent St., for a visit, police said.
