A father has been named as a person of interest in the disappearance of his son, who was just five months old when he disappeared 18 months ago - but was only reported missing this week.

Dontrell Melvin, from Miami, was last seen when his father Calvin Melvin Jr took him out of the house in July 2011 and returned without him. He told his wife that he took the boy to his parents' house so he could have a better life as the pair were having financial problems.

She did not question this account until this week when she alerted authorities that her son had vanished.

When police went to the grandparents house in Pompano they said that they hadn't seen the child in more than a year either.
