BUFFALO, N.Y. — Surveillance footage released Thursday afternoon shows two persons of interest in a case involving a 3-year-old Longwood boy who was discovered sleeping in a box on the porch of a Buffalo, New York, home.
The Buffalo Police Department said the boy, Noelvin, was discovered at 8 a.m. Monday, 1 mile from a burned-out rental minivan that he, his parents and their friend traveled in during a road trip from Central Florida to Upstate New York.
Investigators said they canvassed the area after Noelvin was discovered, but his parents were not found.
