"If Jaliek is out there on that slight chance, that we would find him and he would know that he would have a loving, safe home. That my husband and I are trying to seek custody of him and he could come live with us,” said Reeley.
Barbara and her husband Dennis have also released a photo of Jaliek. The yellow fleece he is wearing in the photo is now missing, and Jaliek may be wearing it.
