ATLANTA (AP) -- A car belonging to a convicted child molester who allegedly left Florida with an 11-year-old boy was found in Bartow County, a Georgia Bureau of Investigation spokesman said Friday.

Frederick Fretz, 42, picked up 11-year-old Adam Kirkirt at Dunnellon Elementary School in Ocala, Fla., Tuesday, police said.

GBI spokesman John Bankhead said Fretz's car was found near I-75. Bankhead said the FBI was leading the investigation.

Fretez was living with the boy and his father, Ivan Kirkirt. Fretz never told Kirkirt or local officials that he was a convicted child molester, a fact that only surfaced this week after he reportedly disappeared with Adam.

Florida deputies on Friday distributed fliers of Adam to area businesses, motels and truck stops. They continued searching the nearby Ocala National Forest, where Fretz is believed to have liked to camp, and they monitored CB radio traffic since Fretz was known to have solicited work cleaning truckers' vehicles. Fretz's handle
name was "Silverfox."

Wal-Mart stores around the nation also planned to hand out fliers of Adam.

On Wednesday morning, authorities issued an Amber Alert to notify the public and other law enforcement agencies once they learned that Fretz had been convicted in 1991 on three charges for sexually assaulting an 11-year-boy in Pennsylvania.

He registered as a sex offender when he moved to Arizona in the mid-1990s, but never registered as a sex offender when he later moved to Florida, a felony that could have kept him in jail longer when he was arrested last September.

Marion County, Fla., Jail officials said they were reviewing their procedures to find out why Fretz's sex-offender status didn't raise any red flags.

They found the boy safe and sound. The abductor is still in the woods near where they found his car and they are still looking for him.

Well, he (the abductor) will no doubt be a customer at my place of work provided he doesn't commit suicide before the law catches up with him -- Marion County's in the catchment area for Reception and Medical Center (North Florida's gateway to the state prison system). Hope the so-and-so doesn't land on my mental health caseload.
