Amber Alert issued for missing Sunderland, Vt., boy

Vermont State Police have issued an Amber Alert for a boy from Sunderland who authorities believe was abducted by his mother.

Zachary Lee, 12, was reported missing earlier this evening.

He was dropped off at his North Road foster home just after 4:45 p.m., but never made it inside, according to a press release from the Vermont State Police.

Zachary is described as a 5-foot white male weighing approximately 95 pounds. He has a French accent and was last seen wearing a puffy black jacket and jeans.

Officials think that Zachary's biological mother, 49-year-old Patricia Kane, is responsible for his disappearance. She made several similar attempts to take him while the two were living in France.

Kane is described as a 6-foot white female weighing 125 pounds. She has blonde hair that may have been dyed and also has a French accent.

Police are concerned because Zachary is new to the area and likely unsure of his surroundings, having moved to Sunderland in late August.

Kane has been highly unstable and volatile since her son’s arrival in the U.S., according to the press release.

Authorities familiar with the situation have noted that a widespread search is underway to locate Zachary. Anyone with information is asked to submit an anonymous tip here or to call 802-442-5421.

At this time, officials do not have a vehicle description or information regarding a possible destination for the pair.
