Dallas kidnapping suspect that led to Amber Alert still on the loose
DALLAS – Dallas police said they’ve had some calls, but not the right one in the search for the 41-year-old man accused of abducting a 9-year-old boy and his 7-year-old sister Sunday. Police said he also sexually assaulted the girl.
Police are searching for Leonard Lamar Neal, and they are continuing to seek help from the public.
Andrea Ruiz works at the restaurant where a woman frantically asked for help after finding a boy crying in the parking lot of a strip center at Kiest and Polk streets Sunday afternoon.
“For me, it’s very, very sensitive because I have a child too. I cannot imagine how I would feel if the same thing happened to me,” Ruiz said.
The boy, 9, and his sister, 7, had been lured into a vehicle as they walked near their apartment in the 1500 block of Argentia Drive, near Zang Boulevard and Illinois Avenue in Oak Cliff.
Police identified Neal Tuesday as the man who brought stranger danger, but they have not been able to track him down.
“It’s been a few days and this is the point where we continue to ask the public for their help for anything that they may see, hear, to be able to call us. That may help us with the investigation,” Dallas PD spokeswoman Kristin Lowman said.
There are two images of the vehicle, which is a crossover style that is gray or silver in color.
The search right now is running down every call that comes in.
“It’s been work that’s being done around the clock. Things are happening behind the scenes with our detectives working with our federal partners to locate the suspect,” Lowman said. “They’re covering all bases, whether the individual is still in Dallas, still in the state of Texas, or out of state.”
Neal has been arrested a handful of times since 2015, but nothing like what he is accused of now, scarring young lives and stealing innocence.
“It’s heartbreaking. This is a case that involves two children, two chIldren that were victimized. So it’s, for our detectives, it’s work that’s happening around the clock,” Lowman said. “Multiple units that are working to locate the individual and to find justice for the two children.”
Crime Stoppers is offering a $5,000 reward for information leading to Neal’s arrest.
Anyone with information can call Crime Stoppers or call 911.

Happy Fourth of July from the Dallas Cowboys, America’s Team
The Fourth of July is as American as it gets. Cold beer, a grill, relaxation with friends and family, and the thrill of fireworks to round out the day. We celebrate freedom and the birth of the United States.
And while we are saying happy birthday to America, we also have to acknowledge one of its greatest creations: the Dallas Cowboys, America’s Team.
The Cowboys are celebrating the Fourth of July like the rest of us in Cowboys Nation as we gear up for the start of training camp, so let’s check out how they wished the loyal fan base a happy holiday.
The Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders, also known as America’s Sweethearts, stole the heart of the nation thanks to the Netflix docuseries, America’s Sweethearts: Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders.
The docuseries shows what it takes to be a member of the iconic DCC, and the tough times that the women deal with to make the squad. The show has become a fixture in Netflix’s Top 10 most-watched shows throughout the final weeks of June.
America’s Sweethearts: Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders is streaming on Netflix now. The series features seven episodes that run approximately one hour each.

Dallas Mavericks Veteran Forward Wants Team To Sign Another Specific Veteran
The Dallas Mavericks have had a busy offseason so far since the end of the NBA Finals, adding three new players who should all be a part of the main rotation: Klay Thompson, Naji Marshall, and Quentin Grimes. They have one open roster spot left and one team veteran has an idea.
Markieff Morris, who is technically a free agent himself but is expecting to be back on the team as a locker room leader, like he was this past season, wants the team to sign his brother, Marcus Morris. Marcus has been connected to the Mavericks along with the Philadelphia 76ers, Detroit Pistons, Charlotte Hornets, Miami Heat, and Cleveland Cavaliers, who he played with last season. The 76ers and Mavericks would give him the best chance to win a championship if that’s what he’s looking for at this stage in his career.

If the Mavs wanted to sign both Morris twins, they’d likely have to release A.J. Lawson, who has a non-guaranteed deal for next season. Or they could trade away Maxi Kleber’s $11 million contract, as Marcus would play a similar role to Kleber.
Marcus and Markieff have had weirdly interweaving careers, even for twins. They were selected with back-to-back picks in the 2011 NBA Draft, but Marcus was traded to the Phoenix Suns halfway through his second season to play with his brother Markieff. After Marcus left the Suns in the 2015 offseason, the two brothers haven’t played together since and would like to play together in the latter stages of their careers.
Marcus is the better player now, averaging 6.4 PPG in 49 games played last season for Cleveland, while Markieff played in just 26 games for the Mavs. The Mavericks acquired Markieff in the trade for Kyrie Irving and has been invaluable in teaching the younger guys in a Udonis Haslem-type role.
