An Amber Alert has been activated as of February 6, 2026, for a missing 2-year-old boy in North Judson, Indiana. The alert was disseminated to smartphones at around 6:05 a.m. and shared on social media shortly thereafter. Community members are urged to assist in the search, and anyone with information is encouraged to contact the Starke County Sheriff’s Office at 574-772-3771 or call 911.
Authorities are specifically searching for Saxon Clemons, described as a white male standing 2 feet 4 inches tall and weighing approximately 30 pounds. He has blonde hair and blue eyes. At the time of his disappearance, Saxon was wearing a blue and gray sweatshirt along with matching sweatpants. Law enforcement officials have expressed that the child is in “extreme danger.”
Saxon was last seen on February 5, 2026, around 3 p.m. in North Judson. The search includes a particular vehicle of interest, a silver 2017 Chevrolet Trailblazer sporting the Indiana license plate CRS242.
The Starke County Sheriff’s Office has identified 44-year-old Dwayne Clemons as a person of interest in Saxon’s disappearance. Dwayne is a white male, approximately 5 feet 9 inches tall, weighing about 180 pounds, with brown hair and brown eyes.
North Judson is a small community in northwest Indiana, home to roughly 2,000 residents, and is located around two hours from Indianapolis.
This Amber Alert comes at a time when discussions are underway in the Indiana Statehouse regarding potential revisions to the Amber Alert system. This conversation was sparked by the tragic case of Hailey Buzbee, a teenager who was abducted from her home and later killed. Buzbee’s case did not meet the criteria for issuing an Amber Alert at the time of her disappearance, highlighting gaps in the current system regarding how responses to abductions are triggered.
The hope is that ongoing reviews of the Amber Alert protocols will lead to improved systems to protect vulnerable children like Saxon Clemons in the future. As communities rally together for his safe return, there remains a sense of urgency and determination among law enforcement and citizens alike.
