Missing boy used for drug money

Officers say the five-year-old boy, Connor Chase, was missing for almost three days before being found Wednesday night.

Police say Timothy Wakefield asked about 40 people for $20. He told them he needed the money to get home. That was a fake story.

Conner was used to make people more willing to give. Connor’s mother said she is happy to have her son back.

Police say he was able to get about $800 from people with the false story.
