Missing Tot Discovered in Aztec Case After City's Search
Johnny, the missing boy from Aztec, was found safe with a couple from Farmington after a tip led Sheriff Wyman to move him to the Wade family in Levelland. The boy recognized Mrs Wade by phone and said daddy would spank him if he stayed away. The couple, living near Aztec, had followed the chase across New Mexico and Texas, and one suspect admitted she would do it again. A $10,000 reward funded by Aztec residents remained for information leading to Johnny's return. Reverend Wade and the boy’s family expressed relief and thanked investigators for their work.
