I received a 911 call on I-90 mile marker 144.

00:05

These individuals were leaving the rest area heading towards Drummond.

00:12

And RP said that at the rest area there was a young boy, maybe about (number withheld) years old, who was.

00:19

Was crying a lot and didn't seem to want to go with.

00:23

Who she is assuming as the mother, and she said that she was bothering him and he was crying.

00:31

And she doesn't know if he's related to these people.

00:36

They are on I 90 in a white Ford Expedition, late nineties.

00:42

Doesn't have red tail lights, only yellow.

00:46

And I repeat.

00:47

Received another 911 call around the same time.

00:50

The back is an open line.

00:52

There was a lot of yelling on the line and I have not been able to understand what that situation is.

00:58

So I.

01:04

And the 2nd 911 I received with all of the yelling is coming from the same sort of area.

01:10

By the way, I'm still trying to get a hold of those people.
