Fifteen-year old Alejandro Taylor was fishing with his brother and father early this morning near Lake Water, elevation 6463 feet above sea level. Alejandro and his seventeen-year old brother, Tyler, got into an argument over whether to use real or artificial worms.

“Alejandro is a purist, you know,” said Tyler. “He has to spend hours digging for worms and such. He has to have real worms, or the experience is ruined for him.

Alejandro threw water at his brother and stormed away from the others, going southwest around the lake. Alejandro was wearing jeans and a white T-shirt with the words “Vote for Pedro” in fuzzy red letters.

The father and brother continued fishing for about an hour before they realized Alejandro has returned to fish with them.

“I thought he was pouting in the bushes or something,” said Alejandro’s father. “He likes to sit in the bushes and pout. He is really good at it, too. Why once, when he was six, he pouted in the bathroom for three hours before we changed the channel.”

Alejandro’s father and brother stopped fishing, walked to the car and put their gear away, and then walked in the direction Alejandro has gone.

“We argued for a while before we looked. I thought he went that way,” said Tyler, “but Dad said he went the other way. So we went the other way.”

After two hour of searching for Alejandro, the father and brother stopped looking and called search and rescue.

Currently, 113 searchers, including three women from Delaware, are combing the area around the Bass River in the Pine Barrens looking for Alejandro. The major concern at this time is a cold front moving in from the Northwest. The weather forecast called for snow tomorrow and overnight lows before freezing.
