Tip on fugitive couple leads to wrong pair

Acting on information that turned out to be wrong, police searched a Beverly home Saturday afternoon for the Plaistow, N.H., couple wanted for abusing a 3-year-old boy, police said.

New Hampshire police have been searching for Jessica Linscott, 23, and her boyfriend, Roland Dow, 27, since Nov. 14, when the couple dropped Linscott’s severely injured son off at Exeter Hospital and disappeared.

Anyone assisting this couple by providing them with money and a place to stay ought to be charged. I only hope if someone finds this couple before the police that they beat and burn them just a horrifically has they did to that poor child before calling police. One thing that we don't hear is from the father of this child. Where is the father of this toddler??
