Overview
- Authorities searched the High Acres Landfill in Perinton, near Rochester, as part of the effort to locate 11-year-old Jacob Pritchett from Brownsville, Brooklyn.
- New York State Police said Thursday’s landfill operation concluded without further details disclosed on findings.
- Jacob is nonverbal and on the autism spectrum, and the NYPD previously released a composite sketch because no photograph was available.
- The investigation began after a Sept. 25 welfare check when the boy’s mother allegedly denied having a child; ACS later found a birth certificate naming her and she was taken for psychiatric evaluation without charges.
- Reports differ on when Jacob was last seen, with accounts ranging from more than a week to since mid-August, and officials continue to seek tips from the public.
