Update: NewsChannel 9 received the information last night on the amber alert closed through the Georgia Bureau of Investigation. We spoke with the G-B-I today. The Georgia Amber Alert Coordinator, Cindy Ledford, admits the way the release is written is confusing and misleading. She says their template is set up a certain way that can not be manipulated on an as needed basis. Moving forward the G-B-I will change their procedure for reporting closed amber alerts. Ledford says the G-B-I closed the amber alert in Georgia because Florida police now believe the boys are sailing somewhere in the Gulf of Mexico. The amber alert remains in effect.The Amber Alert for 2 missing boys in Florida remains in effect. Last night NewsChannel 9 mistakenly reported the alert as canceled. We regret the error. Please see the release from the Hillsborough Sheriff's Office below for the most accurate and up-to-date information.Here
 is your latest up to the minute
information on the ongoing search for the two missing boys....The boys 
and their parents are still at large and their whereabouts are unknown! 
Any media reports that the children have been found and anyone other 
than the parents are involved is inaccurate!All
law enforcement personnel are continuing their search efforts in the 
Gulf of Mexico, surrounding waterways and on land, nothing has changed. 
The ONLY thing that has changed is a slight modification of the Amber 
Alerts. To the best of my knowledge, the Amber
Alerts now include only states that border along the Gulf of Mexico...We
 continue to have full assistance and mutual cooperation from the 
Federal Bureau of Investigation, the US Coast Guard, the Florida 
Department of Law Enforcement, the Florida Fish and Wildlife
Commission and many other law enforcement agencies from around the 
country. Regarding the media;HCSO is extremely appreciative of the 
media's efforts in assisting us in this investigation; your attention to
 this matter has been instrumental in helping us obtain
several of the key positive leads thus far. We continue to receive 
leads, and everyone one of them are investigated. The FBI's Tampa PIO, 
David Couvertier and I are not doing any media interviews at this time. 
That will change if any breaking news or pertinent
information develops and needs to be released. If you have any other 
type of questions, please feel free to call us, however if it's simply 
to ask are there any updates there is no need because there are none 
at this time. I promise you, the minute any information
changes and/or there is something new in this case that I can publicly 
report, I will put it out as fast as I can via media alert.The 
investigation continues...Larry
