Law officers this morning said they are continuing their search for an 8-month-old boy reportedly abducted from his home in Carthage late Thursday night.

The reported kidnapping of Eddie A. Salazar from his home at 227 E. Mound St. triggered an Amber Alert early Friday morning and a massive search by law enforcement agencies in four states. More than 100 officers are involved.

Authorities as of yet are not yet releasing the names of the parents.
