The search continues Monday for a nine-year-old boy who Vancouver police believe was allegedly abducted by his mother.
Emerson Cusworth is not the subject of an amber alert but police say they believe he is with his mother, 34-year-old Shawana Chaudhary, also known as Shawna.
Police believe Emerson was taken by his mother, contrary to a court imposed custody order. They also believe Emerson’s appearance has been changed and his hair may have been dyed.
Shawana Chaudhary may also be using her old legal name — Virjinia Leeman, which could also be spelled Virginia Leman.
Police were alerted to Emerson’s disappearance after his father went to pick him up Friday after school, as per his court-ordered parenting time, and Emerson was not there.
The last confirmed sighting of Emerson was with his mother and his sister in the morning of March 9. Police have not released any information about his sister.
Police say there’s no indication the children have been harmed or are in imminent danger.
Anyone with information about their whereabouts, recent activities, or travel plans should call 911, investigators at 604-717-0601, or Crime-Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.
