(AP) -- Relatives of a South Carolina boy missing since Thanksgiving are organizing a candlelight prayer service.
Jocelyn Jennings Nelson says a vigil and service are happening Thursday for her grandson, Amir Jennings. The service starts at 6 p.m. at Frances Burns United Methodist Church in Columbia. Amir was 18 months old when Nelson reported him missing around Thanksgiving.
The boy's mother has been in jail since late December on a cruelty to children charge. Police say Zinah Jennings has lied about where her son is, and authorities are analyzing stains on blankets and clothes removed from Jennings' car after a Christmas Eve wreck to see if they are blood.
Her attorney says Jennings is pregnant and is on psychiatric medication.
