A two-and-a-half year old boy missing from Marietta, Georgia has been found in Burkesville.

According to Burkesville Police Chief Brad Perdue, Kathleen Salsberg, 42, allegedly kidnapped her son, Jacob Briscoe, from his father, Wally Briscoe.

Perdue said it was a tip from a local citizen Thursday, September 15 that alerted local authorities to investigate Salsberg who was living in Burkesville under a different name.

The tip came from a local woman who witnessed the child and his mother at the park. The witness said she talked to the boy and Salsberg and told police something didn’t seem right. The witness researched the website, missingkids.com, and found Salsberg was wanted for the kidnapping of her son, Jacob.

Apparently Salsberg took Jacob for a two-week visit on July 7 and was to return him to his father on July 21 at 5 p.m.

A felony warrant for kidnapping was issued for Salsberg on July 29.

Perdue said Salsberg was arrested and charged with fugitive from justice and taken to Adair County Regional Jail where she remained at presstime last week. She will be extradited to Georgia to face charges there.

Wally Briscoe drove from Marietta last Thursday and was reunited with his son that night.
