Authorities in Southern California issued an ?Amber alert? early Wednesday after a 9-year-old boy was reported abducted from his Palm Desert home by two armed intruders.

The sheriff?s department described the missing boy as 4 feet, 5 inches tall, about 55 pounds, with brown hair with blond highlights. He was wearing only underwear when he was abducted.

UPDATE: [12:00pm] One of the kidnappers was described as between 20 and 30 years old, 5 feet, 8 inches tall, 175 pounds, with dark, slicked-back hair and a goatee. He was wearing dark clothing and carrying a black backpack.
The second man, who was wearing the nylon over his face, was said to be 6 feet, 3 inches tall and weighing 250 pounds. He was wearing dark sweat pants.

Kondo said the case did not yet merit an Amber alert because authorities did not have specific information such as the vehicle?s license number.

UPDATE: [5:30pm (8/29)] Authorities were looking for Farber’s ex-wife, Debra Rose, 38, of Colorado Springs, Colo., and her former roommate, Carla Bender. Officials, however, have stopped short of calling them suspects.

The gray 2002 GMC extended-cab pickup with Colorado paper license plates with the number H12197 was not placed at the kidnap scene and could be anywhere in the West, said FBI Special Agent Richard Garcia.

I will post more information as soon as I get it.
