Goldsboro police announced today the creation of a 24-hour hotline as they are still asking the community for help in finding Kennedy Fitzgerald McLaurin Jr., the 16-year-old Goldsboro High School student who has been missing since Sunday afternoon.
Police also announced today that they are looking for a late model, 1990s, four-door Oldsmobile with bluish/gray faded paint -- the car believed to have been used when McLaurin was allegedly abducted by three or four black men, possibly along Bain Street in the Woodcrest Housing Community.
