This heart-wrenching ordeal began when Kache’s grandmother, rising from her slumber, made the heartbreaking discovery that the young boy was missing from his bed. Concerned for his safety, she immediately alerted the authorities. Law enforcement officers promptly arrived at the residence and initiated a comprehensive search of the premises, but initial efforts yielded no trace of Kache.
