Authorities said the man approached Martinez's residence to borrow jumper cables, claiming his vehicle was disabled. The Martinezes let the man borrow their silver Jeep Cherokee. The boy asked to ride with the man, and was family members gave permission, authorities said.

Investigators were searching the area near Martinez's home when they saw the boy walking along the street toward them just before 2 a.m. The jeep was abandoned.
