Prayer Vigil Set for Missing Morris County Boys Allegedly Kidnapped by Their Dad
Hour-long event open to the public Saturday in Ledgewood.
A prayer vigil has been set for the two Morris County brothers who were allegedly kidnapped by their own father nearly a month ago.
Parker and Jaxon Dohm, 8 and 7, respectively, last spoke with their mom, Sandra, on Feb. 5 while they were staying with their dad, Kristopher Dohm, in Hopatcong. Rather than being returned to their mom’s house on Monday, Feb. 9, the boys never came home.
It was then that Sandra Dohm contacted police, who have been conducting a search nationwide in search of the trio, who may have altered their appearances by shaving their heads. Kristopher Dohm’s vehicle, a grey Nissan Pathfinder, was last spotted on Interstate 95 in Baltimore, Maryland on Feb. 6.
