Taylen Mosley, who was last seen on March 29 in the vicinity of the 11600 block of 4th Street North in St. Petersburg, Florida, has been the subject of an amber alert from St. Petersburg Police. According to police, the child may be in danger.

Pashun Jeffery, the mother of the toddler, was discovered dead in their apartment on Thursday after a family member requested the building management check on the couple, according to investigators.

Taylen’s father, who has not been publicly identified, is a person of interest in his disappearance, but investigators confirmed that they spoke to him and he does not have the child. They plan to talk with him more on Friday, a St. Pete police spokesperson said.

Police Chief Anthony Holloway told reporters that a drone and dogs were used in the hunt for the youngster, which also engaged county, state, and federal agencies.

"It's very urgent, it's all hands on deck right now," Holloway said, adding "we want to bring this child home."

The crime scene was "extremely violent on the inside," according to the police chief, who expressed grave worries for Taylen's safety.

"If you have this child, please call us, let us know this child is safe," he urged.

Police believe Jeffery and her son were the only two occupants of the apartment, based on the lease.
