“Bruce Jonathon Strother, stabbed the missing child’s mother and abducted Nicholas Strother. Bruce Strother is also a registered sex offender.”

I thought to give him the benefit of the doubt until they catch him, but if this is the case then screw him.

Amber Alert issued for child after mother found stabbed
AP

(8/18/07 - TEXAS CITY, TX) - Authorities are searching for a man who they say abducted his young son after stabbing the child’s mother.

The mother, Nicole Vasquez, had numerous stab wounds and was in surgery early Saturday morning, said Texas City police Capt. Brian Goetschius.

Authorities issued an Amber Alert late Friday for Nicholas Strother, who is about a year old. According to the alert, the child is believed to be with his father, Bruce Jonathon Strother, 23.

On Friday evening, Vasquez was visiting Bruce Strother at his Texas City home when they got into an argument and authorities say he stabbed her.

She then ran to a neighbor’s home for help and Bruce Strother left with the child in her car, a blue 2004 Toyota Camry with Texas license plate X42KDC.

Police say Bruce Strother is a registered sex offender.

Ha. The 21st century law tells us thus:

A man is guilty until death, once charged.

A woman is never guilty when a mother.

Texas City is a long way from Fort Worth, and both are right smart from San Antonio.

Sounds like a domestic dispute.
