WELLS, Texas — **EDITOR’S NOTE: The video above was originally published Sept. 22, 2020.

The last time then-5-week-old Armaidre Argumon was seen was Sept. 18, 2020, with his father, DeAndre, in the 500 block of Old Forest Rd. in Wells. That same day, an AMBER Alert was issued for the child.

During a Sept. 22, 2020, press conference, the Wells Police Department revealed that DeAndre had been arrested for endangering/abandoning a child and unauthorized use of a motor vehicle. Prior to this arrest, officials say he had just been released from jail after being picked up on a parole violation.

Cherokee County Sheriff Brent Dickson said DeAndre was not cooperative in trying to locate Armaidre.

Public vigilance was requested, with residents urged to report anything suspicious. Any sightings of “fresh graves” in the woods were to be reported immediately. The public was also asked to hand over the infant if they were holding him.

The AMBER Alert was discontinued on Oct. 2, 2020, but Armaidre still hasn’t been found.

On Sept. 9, 2021, DeAndre was sentenced to 15 years in prison for the endangering/abandoning a child charge and eight years for unauthorized use of a motor vehicle. The sentences will run concurrently.

In Wells, a tiny town of just 850 residents, everyone knows each other. The mystery of Armaidre’s disappearance remains a topic of conversation among locals.

Though there are no new leads, officials encourage the public to report anything suspicious to either the sheriff’s office or the Wells Police Department.

If you have any information on the whereabouts of the child, please contact the Wells Police Dept. at (936) 867-5593 or your local law enforcement agency.

Although it is a Wells Police Department case, the Cherokee County Sheriff’s Office is continuing to assist in the investigation. People can contact the sheriff’s office at (903) 683-2271.
