New Haven Boy Reported Missing

New Haven police have issued an alert for a 12-year-old boy who has been missing since Thursday.

When Edward Bookert Jr. was last seen, he was carrying a black book bag and wearing a Navy blue uniform shirt, gray jacket and black and white Nikes.

Police said Edward's parents went to the Conte West Hills School to pick up their son at 2:45 p.m. and school officials told them Edward may have taken a bus from school, police said.

The parents contacted the bus company, which had no record of Edward boarding one of their busses from the school.

Police said Edward has attention deficit-hyperactivity disorder, which requires him to be supervised at all times, but he is otherwise not troubled or at risk.

Edward's parents reported him missing at 11:22 p.m. 

He has been reported missing three times in December 2012, according to police.

Edward is 5-feet-3 tall, thin and weighs 120 to 125 pounds.

He was last seen wearing blue jeans, a blue uniform shirt, a light gray hooded jacket and black, gray and white Nike sneakers. He has a black book-bag.

He has black hair, brown eyes and a scar on his cheek.

If you see Edward, call New Haven police at 203-946-6316, reference 13-16686.
