PRESS RELEASE
Amber Alert for Missing Juvenile from Sunderland, VT

Lt. Tim Oliver, Rockingham Barracks Station Commander – 802-875-2112
Captain JP Sinclair, Vermont State Police Chief Criminal Investigator – (802) 244-8781

Sunderland, VT – 9/3/14 – Today, at approximately 4:46PM, the Vermont State Police received information regarding a missing juvenile Zachary Lee, age 12 of Sunderland, VT. Zachary was dropped off at the foot of his driveway at his foster home at 2327 North Road in Sunderland Vermont, but never made it inside. An AMBER Alert was activated at 8:35PM tonight for Zachary.

Zachary was recently repatriated from France. Authorities have been concerned that Zachary’s mother, Patricia Kane, age 49, may take off with Zachary. This is based on a documented history of such attempts while the child was in the custody of the Republic of France.

Patricia has been highly unstable and volatile since Zachary’s arrival in the U.S.  This has been noted by several members of the Vermont Department of Children and Families staff, as well as by legal authorities, and school authorities.  All treatment team members have been working together to help safe-guard against possible attempts to abscond with him.

Zachary Lee is described as a white male, age 12, approximately 5’, weighing 95lbs, with brown shoulder length hair, brown eyes, and speaks with a French accent. He was last seen wearing a black puffy coat with white stripe, jeans, a light-colored sweater, blue & black sneakers.

Patricia Kane, Zachary’s biological mother, is a 49 year old white female is approximately 6’0” tall, weighs 125lbs., with white or blonde (possibly dyed) hair, brown eyes; and also speaks with a French accent. Her direction of travel or mode of travel is unknown.

The Vermont State Police have concern for Zachary’s welfare because he is under 13 years old; he is unfamiliar with this area, having been here only since August 29, 2014; he is absent under circumstances inconsistent with his established pattern of behavior; and given his mother’s history of attempting to abscond with the child while in France.

Law enforcement authorities are using all available investigative resources available and coordinating with state, local, county, and federal agencies to safely bring Zachary home.

Anyone with information regarding Zachary’s disappearance, please call 802-442-5421 or submit an anonymous tip to www.vtips.info<
