The Texas-based center helps organize searches for children and has assisted locally in both the Jahi Turner and Danielle van Dam cases. <P>"I hope to get some advice from them on how to restart this search effort," Lambert said. <P>Jahi's stepfather, Tieray Jones, told police he left Jahi at a playground near the boy's home at Beech and 28th streets with a woman and two other children while he walked a few hundred yards away to buy a soda. <P>When the 23-year-old returned, his stepson was gone, along with the others. <P>
