A 5-year-old boy whose disappearance sparked an Amber Alert was not kidnapped, according to local police. Investigators said the caretakers story that masked men entered the home and took the child was false. Albany County Sheriff Craig Apple told local media at about 3 a.m. Friday that the body of Kenneth White was found by a sheriffs K-9 unit conducting a search in the rural hamlet of Clarksville, 10 miles southwest of Albany. The boy was being watched by the 19-year-old daughter of his legal guardians in the neighboring town of Berne. The woman claimed she was pinned to the floor and that the masked men had taken the child at about 1:30 p.m. Thursday. Police issued an Amber Alert less than a half-hour later. Apple says the caretaker and two other small children were left unharmed. He says Kenneths mother lives elsewhere in New York, his father in Massachusetts. Police said on Friday they were questioning a person of interest. MYFOXNYCopyright 2014 The Associated Press. All rights reserved.
