>>> WELCOME BACK, LETS DIVE INTO THE DEEP END, AUTHORITIES UP AND DOWN THE WEST COAST ARE SEARCHING FOR THE MAN ACCUSED OF KILLING TWO WOMEN AND KIDNAPPING HIS SON. >> ONE OF THOSE WOMEN WAS SHOT OUTSIDE AN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL IN RICHLAND, WASHINGTON. WE HAVE LEE STOLL WITH US THIS MORNING TO CONTINUE THE CONVERSATION. TELL US ABOUT THE EVENTS THAT LED UP TO THIS AMBER ALERT AND WHERE DO THEY THINK THE SUSPECT IS HEADING NOW? >> WE HAVE BEEN GETTING A BETTER IDEA OF THE TIMELINE AS THIS SEARCH STRETCHES ON INTO THE NEXT COUPLE OF HOURS, WHAT WE KNOW, AS YOU MENTIONED, THERE WAS A WOMAN SHOT OUTSIDE OF AN ELEMENT SCHOOL IN WEST RICHLAND YESTERDAY AFTERNOON JUST AS SCHOOL WAS GETTING RELEASED FOR THE END OF THE DAY. THIS WAS REALLY A CHAOTIC SITUATION, OFFICERS HAD TO REUNITE KIDS WITH THEIR FAMILIES BECAUSE THEY HAD TO PUT SEVERAL SCHOOLS INTO LOCKDOWN. AUTHORITIES BELIEVE THEY ARE LOOKING FOR A 39-YEAR-OLD MAN, ELIAS HUIZAR, THEY BELIEVE HE HAS TAKEN OFF WITH HIS ONE-YEAR-OLD SON, ROMAN, AND WHEN THEY SEARCHED HIS HOUSE, UNFORTUNATELY THEY FOUND ANOTHER WOMAN WHO WAS DEAD AT THAT HOME. THEY BELIEVE THE TWO WOMEN WHO HAVE BEEN KILLED ARE ELIAS HUIZAR'S EX-WIFE AND HIS GIRLFRIEND. AT THIS POINT THEY BELIEVE HE IS TRYING TO MAKE IT TO MEXICO WITH HIS YOUNG SON, THAT IS WHY THE AMBER ALERT WE HAVE BEEN TOLD HAS BEEN ISSUED ACROSS WASHINGTON AND OREGON, POSSIBLY ALL THE WAY DOWN THE WEST COAST. >> SO THAT IS A BIT OF A TIMELINE, WHAT ELSE DO WE KNOW ABOUT THE SUSPECT? >> Reporter: THIS IS WHAT MAKES THIS CASE MORE DISTURBING IS BECAUSE WE ARE FOLLOWING UP ON REPORTS FROM OUR SISTER STATIONS THAT WE HAVE IN THE TRI-CITIES, AND IN PORTLAND, AS WELL, RUNNING AS ELIAS HUIZAR WAS ACTUALLY A FORMER POLICE OFFICER. HE HAD BEEN WITH THE YAKIMA POLICE DEPARTMENT BUT HE HAS NOT BEEN AN EMPLOYEE THERE FOR OVER A YEAR, BUT BEYOND THAT, WE ARE TOLD HE WAS A SCHOOL RESOURCE OFFICER. HE IS ACCUSED OF HAVING AN INAPPROPRIATE RELATIONSHIP WITH A TEENAGE GIRL WHO GOT PREGNANT AND ALSO HE IS CHARGED WITH RAPE. HE WAS OUT ON BAIL, THAT WAS SET $200,000 BACK IN FEBRUARY BUT BECAUSE HE IS A FORMER POLICE OFFICER, THERE IS CONCERN WHAT WOULD HE DO IF HE IS CONFRONTED BY LAW ENFORCEMENT, AS THEY ARE LOOKING FOR HIM NOW. THEY ARE SAYING THEY CONSIDER HIM ARMED AND DANGEROUS, SO THEY ARE WARNING ANYONE, ALTHOUGH THEY ARE ASKING THE PUBLIC TO KEEP THEIR EYES OPEN, IF THEY DO SEE ANYTHING, DO NOT TRY TO APPROACH HIM, CALL 911 IMMEDIATELY. >> SCARY SITUATION HERE. YOU MENTIONED THE CHILD HAS BEEN MISSING SINCE SUNDAY, AND THEN AMBER ALERT WASN'T POSTED UNTIL LAST NIGHT. ANOTHER HIGH-PROFILE CASE OUT OF EVERETT. THE DEATH OF 4-YEAR-OLDER ARIEL RAISED QUESTIONS WHY AN AMBER ALERT WASN'T ISSUED SOON FOR CHILDREN. WHAT DOES IT TAKE FOR AUTHORITIES TO ISSUE AMBER ALERTS? >> Reporter: SINCE THAT CASE IN EVERETT WE HAVE HEARD FROM LAW ENFORCEMENT SAYING THEY REALLY WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT PEOPLE DON'T START TURNING A BLIND EYE TO AN AMBER ALERT. THEY DON'T WANT IT TO BECOME ONE OF THE MILL, SOMETHING PEOPLE DO NOT PAY ATTENTION TO ANYMORE. SO THERE ARE SPECIFIC RULES ABOUT WHEN AN AMBER ALERT CAN BE ISSUED AND THERE IS SOME CONFUSION THIS MORNING ABOUT THE INFORMATION THAT IS BEING PUT OUT BOUT THIS CASE. FIRST TWO, THE AMBER ALERT, YOU DO, ACCORDING TO LAW ENFORCEMENT, IT HAS TO BE REQUESTED BY OFFICERS TO BE POSTED AND THERE HAS TO BE SPECIFIC INFORMATION. THEY NEED TO KNOW A CHILD HAS BEEN ABDUCTED, PUT OVER READER BOARDS, A VEHICLE S POSSIBLY A DESCRIPTION OF THE PEOPLE THEY ARE LOOKING FOR, THEY HAVE TO HAVE THAT IN PLACE BEFORE THEY PUT THE AMBER ALERT. IT SOUNDS LIKE ROMAN MAY HAVE BEEN MISSING SINCE 5:00 SUNDAY, THE AMBER ALERT WASN'T ISSUED UNTIL 10:00 LAST FIGHT. WE ARE GOING TO BE ASKING BOUT THAT TIMELINE, AND THEN WITH THE INFORMATION ITSELF, THE AMBER ALERT WE HAD AS WE WERE COMING ON THE NEWS THIS MORNING ON OUR SISTER STATION KOMO AT 4:30 WAS OFFICERS WERE LOOKING FOR A SILVER TOYOTA SEDAN, BUT THEN WE WERE HEARING FROM OUR REPORTERS AT OUR SISTER STATION DOWN IN PORTLAND, THAT THEIR READER BOARDS WERE SAYING OFFICERS WERE LOOKING FOR A BLACK FOUR-DOOR NISSAN. IT TURNS OUT OFFICERS ARE TELLING US THEY ARE LOOKING FOR BOTH VEHICLES, WHETHER OR NOT AT SOME POINT THEY BELIEVE SOMEONE MAY HAVE CHANGED VEHICLES AS THEY WERE MOVING THROUGH WHERE THE INCIDENT STARTED WITH THE SHOOTING AT THE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL, IT SOUNDS LIKE THERE IS A CLERK AT A STORE IN THE PORTLAND AREA WHO TOLD A REPORTER THIS MORNING THEY CALLED LAW ENFORCEMENT BECAUSE THEY REPORTED SEEING THE SUSPECT IN THAT BLACK VEHICLE, BUT RIGHT NOW OFFICERS ARE SAYING THEY ARE LOOKING FOR BOTH CARS. >> THAT IS A WIDE NET, AT A TIME WHERE, YOU KNOW, TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE RIGHT NOW. THANK YOU. I THINK ONE THING THAT IS PARTICULARLY DIFFICULT ABOUT THIS CASE IS CLEARLY, ALLEGEDLY, THERE ARE TWO OTHER MURDERS, AND THEN WE DON'T KNOW THIS BOY IS. AS WE SAW, UNFORTUNATELY WITH ARIEL, HE DID NOT SURVIVE AND IN THIS CASE, YOU WANT TO MAKE SURE THIS LITTLE BOY CAN GET INTO SAFE HANDS, BECAUSE YOU MIGHT BE DEAL
