Kansas City authorities were asking for help Friday night to locate a woman and her 5-year-old son who were reported missing and possibly endangered.
Jessica Martinez, 43, and Jacob Martinez, the boy, were last seen around 5 p.m. in the 7800 block of East 67th Street, according to bulletins from Kansas City police and the Missouri State Highway Patrol.
Police said the pair left the area in a dark blue Chevrolet pickup truck with a ladder rack. They were believed to be with a man identified as 45-year-old Kelly Phelps, who police say has a history of domestic violence.
It was not known if Jessica and Jacob Martinez were with Phelps willingly, according to police.
Jessica Martinez was last seen wearing a white T-shirt and blue jeans. Her son was wearing a blue T-shirt with a dinosaur print, and blue pants.
Authorities were asking anyone with information to call 911 or Kansas City Police Department’s Missing Persons Unit at 816-234-5043.
