The agonizing plight of 5-year old boy named Ethan continues in southwestern
Alabama. The little boy, who is believed to have autism, is a prisoner in a
eight by six foot bunker, four feet underground. held captive by this
man, 65-year old James Lee Dykes. Authorities released his picture on Friday
.
SOT Mayor Virgil Skipper, Midland City, Alabama
"That's an innocent kid, let him go back to his parents, he's crying for his
parents and his grandparents."
Above the bunker, a swarm of deputies is standing by. communicating with
the hostage taker and dropping medicine down to Ethan though a p-v-c pipe.
SOT Sheriff Wally Olson, Dale County, Alabama
"Please continue to be patient with us and continue to pray for a safe
conclusion to this incident."
Experts say negotiators are trying to gain trust with Dykes and that they
won't do anything to agitate him, like cutting off power or funneling
sleeping gas down the pipe.
NATS
The hostage drama began Tuesday, when Dykes stormed a school bus in the town
of Midland, and snatched Ethan.
SOT Michael Senn, Pastor, Midway Assembly of God
"He wanted two children between the ages of 6 and 8."
And he might have taken more children if the bus driver, Charles Poland, had
not heroically fought back, opening the back door so the other kids could
escape before Dykes shot him to death.
SOT Marvin Skipper, Bus Driver's Brother-in-Law
"He showed the love for those kids cause he gave his life."
SOT Michael Senn
"To be able to stand between a shooter and his children on his bus, surely
this man died an American hero."

FOR THE FIRST TIME, WE'RE GETTING A LOOK AT A 10-FOOT PYTHON CAUGHT BY A SOUTHWEST FLORIDA SNAKE HUNTER TAKING PART IN THE 2013 PYTHON CHALLENGE.
NBC 2'S KIM BROWN FOUND OUT HOW HE WAS ONE OF THE LUCKY ONES.WHEN MOST HUNTERS HAVE LEFT THE EVERGLADES EMPTY HANDED.
Return to index of stories...
THIS WEEKEND IS ROUND FOUR OF PYTHON HUNTING FOR SIMON HEAVLIN.
Chance has a lot to do with it honestly.
HE SAYS THERE WAS NO SECRET TO THE WAY HE AND HIS FRIENDS CAUGHT ONE LAST SUNDAY OUTSIDE THE EVERGLADES NATIONAL PARK.
AND HE UNDERSTANDS WHY IT'S BEEN A FRUSTRATING SEARCH FOR OTHERS.
All the people, especially the people that come from out of state are out all day every day from what I hear.
SIMON IS ONE OF 41 PEOPLE OUT OF 800 WHO REGISTERED FOR THE FIRST EVER PYTHON CHALLENGE AND ACTUALLY CAUGHT ONE.
It was out of the road. All that there was was a few feet of her sticking out of the grass. That's went I jumped out and tailed her.
THAT CHALLENGE - HOSTED BY FLORIDA FISH AND WILDLIFE - IS MEANT TO RAISE PUBLIC AWARENESS ABOUT THE INVASIVE SPECIES AND THEIR IMPACT ON THE EVERGLADES' ECOSYSTEM.
BY SEEING WHO CAN CATCH THE MOST PYTHONS AND THE LONGEST.
I was surprised to find anything. Honestly, and she was pretty laid back for the most part. I think she was cold until everybody started surrounding her and flashlights were in her and she saw all of us then she started to give us a little attitude.
NO ONE HAS BEEN INJURED TRYING TO CATCH ONE.
FWC IS PLEASED WITH THE TOTAL SO FAR SINCE THEY DIDN'T HAVE AN EXPECTATION ON HOW MANY WOULD BE CAUGHT.
NATS
AND WITH JUST A WEEK LEFT UNTIL THE FEBRUARY 10TH DEADLINE.
SIMON IS GOING BACK HUNTING SATURDAY FOR ANOTHER CHANCE AT SPOTTING ONE.
That's how I'd rather spend my time anyway.

THIS WEATHERCAST HAS BEEN PREPARED BY THE NBC2 WEATHER STAFF.
IT IS NOT A VERBATIM OF WHAT IS BEING SAID, BUT IS THE FORECAST FOR OUR AREA.
NICE WEEKEND AHEAD
As promised, we certainly felt a drop in temperatures this morning and today. Lows were in the 40's along the coast and inland areas did manage to drop into the 30's this morning. Tonight will be another mainly clear evening with a light breeze from the northeast. Temperatures will fall into the 40's once again on Saturday morning - in the same places as last night. I also expect another round of mid and upper 30's in the colder inland spots again tomorrow morning.
The daytime high temperatures will recover to the mid and lower 70's on Saturday and there will be plenty of sunshine during the day. It looks like we will hold on to the pattern of chilly morning temperatures and mild, sunny days through the weekend and into next week.
A weak weather disturbance riding across Florida next Wednesday should increase the clouds on that day, but rain chances stay very low. All-in-all the weather forecast here in beautiful southwest Florida should stay very nice through next week.
