Police question father of missing boy

Police took in the father of a missing 6-year-old boy for questioning Thursday evening.

Channel 2 was on the scene when police escorted the missing boy's father from their home to conduct an interview about the case, Clayton County Police said.

It's been more than 24 hours since Andrew Ngalahomen, described as a smart, energetic boy, disappeared from his Clayton County home, police said.

Neighbors told Channel 2's Tom Jones they last saw him playing on the 6700 block of Williow Drive near Riverdale Wednesday, approximately 2:30 p.m., although no one called to report the boy's disappearance until Thursday.  Police did not say why the child's disappearance wasn't reported until one day later.

Jones said police are going door-to-door searching for the boy who was last seen walking northbound on Heatherwood Lane, officials said.  News Chopper 2 showed uniformed officers swarming the boy's neighborhood.

Clifford Christian said he saw Andrew on the day he disappeared.

"We seen him yesterday morning we was walking to the store and we talked to him. And he seemed He seemed like everything was normal," Christian said.

 But neighbor Lindsey Edwards told a much different story when she saw him about two hours before he disappeared.  She recalled the child was crying at noon Wednesday because his father was asleep.

The child was last seen wearing a gray hooded sweatshirt and blue jeans, according to police.

Anyone with information on the child’s location is urged to Clayton County Police at 678-449-4089.
