Amber Alert issued as 2-year-old Saxon Clemons is allegedly abducted in Indiana

AN Amber Alert has been issued for a child reportedly abducted in northwest Indiana.

The Starke County Sheriff’s Department is investigating the disappearance of 2-year-old Saxon Clemons from North Judson, Indiana, located about 120 miles northwest of Indianapolis.

Clemons is identified as 2 feet 4 inches tall, weighing 30 pounds, with blonde hair and blue eyes. He was last seen dressed in a blue and gray sweatshirt and matching sweatpants. Authorities say he may be in danger.

Who is the suspect?

Police say the suspect, 44-year-old Dwayne Clemons, is a white male around 5'9" and 180 lbs with brown hair and eyes, last seen in a silver 2017 Chevrolet Trailblazer from Indiana (plate CRS242).

Anyone who has information is urged to contact the Starke County Sheriff’s Office at 574-772-3771 or call 911.

What is the difference between Amber and Silver alerts?

Amber alerts are issued for children under 18 who are believed to have been abducted and are at risk. To activate an AMBER Alert, police must also have details about a suspect and the vehicle involved.

Silver Alerts apply to missing and endangered adults or children and are issued more frequently in missing-person cases.

In both cases, the alerts can only be issued by law enforcement authorities.
