Body of 2-year-old Amari Nicholson found in Las Vegas a week after he was reported missing
so far, the search for little Omari Nicholson has come up cold for five days. Researchers have been looking passing out flyers in hopes that they will be able to find the little boy we just want to marry to come home safely. Marley Sha Everett is a little boys and we hope that he's okay playing happy and we're going to bring you home soon. Taylor Nicholson is the boy's mother despite the little boy not being seen for five days and two women have not spoken according to Everett. Her brother and Nicholson are not on good terms, but that shouldn't get in the way of the search. I understand that they haven't had a good relationship in the past and I understand that, but we want to help her find, um, are as soon as possible. She says she has reached out to Nicholson through facebook not wanting to harass her. But the bottom line is, she has yet to hear back Nevada. Child seekers is handing out flyers and having the neighborhood canvass while looking for the toddler and is asking the public to get more involved. If there's anything that may be draws to your mind and you think it might possibly lead us back to a mari. Please just call. We reached out to Emerald suites management about the possibility of showing a surveillance video. They emailed us saying we are unable to supply any surveillance video as it's part of an active investigation. We are fully cooperating with Metro to do everything we can to help in this situation.
