Family members looking for boy, former Cove resident

Family members are looking for John Earl Jr., who lived in Copperas Cove in 2008-2010.

An 8-year-old boy and former Copperas Cove resident has been missing since June 15, and family members are reaching out to any one who can aid in the recovery of the boy. John was last seen just days before Fathers day, when the boy’s mother, Maria Earl, picked him up for her court-allowed weekend with the child. The child was picked up from his school in Mason and he was supposed to be returned to the father, John Earl, the following Sunday, but the two never arrived.
