LEESBURG, Fla. (FOX 13) - A Missing Child Alert has been issued for a 4-month-old from Leesburg, who could be with his 29-year-old mother.
Leesburg police said Kaiden Nelis, who was born premature, could be with his mother, Jennifer. She was reported missing on Tuesday and their last physical location was at the Rodeway Inn, located at 1115 West North Boulevard in room 259. When officials arrived, they said the room was empty. Her husband pinged her phone, and the last known location was in the Buck N Doe area in Marion County.

She also has a tattoo on her neck that says, “Jimmy,” a tattoo of four stars on her right shoulder blade, and a floral sleeve on her left arm from her wrist to her forearm.
They may be traveling in a 2008 white Dodge Avenger with the Florida temporary tag, CDW8858. The reason for the alert was not immediately available, or a possible motive for their disappearance.
