Reams said the pair are likely traveling in a car and may have people helping them avoid capture. He said he has no reason to believe Dow is holding Linscott against her will.
Police said the pair may have been seen in Swampscott, Mass. Tuesday.
The boy is currently in stable condition, Reams said.
Anyone with information on the couple's whereabouts is asked to call Plaistow police at 603-382-6816.
