Police are investigating the reported abduction of two toddlers by a man who had stopped to help their mother after their car broke down on a Georgia highway early Wednesday morning.

According to a DeKalb County Police Dept. press release, 3-year-old Jalen and 1-year-old Amari Mattison were reported missing around 2 am and authorities are calling the case an “active kidnapping.”

The boys’ mother told police that her car broke down on I-20 near Wesley Chapel Road and an unidentified black male seemingly stopped to assist her. While she arranged to have her car towed, however, the man drove away with the two boys, police said.

The suspect is described as approximately 6 feet tall and thin, last seen wearing a brown or tan baseball hat and driving a green 2000-2005 model Jeep Cherokee.

A friend of Whitney Houston’s ex-husband, Bobby Brown, told HLN’s Nancy Grace Thursday that Brown is “distraught” over the singer’s death.

“He’s taking it really hard,” Derrick Handspike said. “…He’s pretty hurt right now.”

In Handspike’s book, "Bobby Brown: The Truth, The Whole Truth, Nothing But," The New Edition singer is quoted as saying that he never used cocaine until after he met Houston. Handspike confirmed that is what Brown told him.

“Whitney was her own person, you know,” Handspike said. “Whitney liked to party and have a good time too, I mean, just as well as Bobby.”

Handspike said he was also upset when he heard that Houston had died. “Devastated. Devastated,” he said of his reaction. “I mean, I couldn’t even believe it. It’s still really just registering now and sinking in.”

For in depth coverage of the investigation into Whitney Houston’s death watch Nancy Grace tonight at 8 & 10 p.m. ET only on HLN.

The mother of a missing Maine toddler said in a new interview that she is considering a lawsuit against the social services agency that was supposed to be overseeing her daughter’s care.

Trista Reynolds told the Portland Daily Sun that the Maine Department of Health and Human Services should have investigated 20-month-old Ayla Reynolds’ living conditions while the girl was staying with her father and performed background checks on his family members. Ayla was reportedly last seen at father Justin DiPietro’s home on the night of Dec. 16, 2011. He claimed she was gone the next morning.

“I think if they checked up on Ayla, we wouldn’t be where we are today,” Reynolds said, according to the Sun.

Reynolds claimed DiPietro took custody of the girl with DHHS support while she was in rehab last October, and she said the agency did not properly monitor Ayla after that.

Citing strict confidentiality policies, DHHS has refused to comment about the case to HLN or other news outlets. A spokesperson told the Sun they could not even confirm whether they were involved with Ayla’s case at all.

An attorney representing DiPietro’s sister and mother is also now speaking out. In an interview with the Morning Sentinel, Steve Bourget said Elisha and Phoebe DiPietro are cooperating with police and have told them everything they know.

Elisha, 23, was in the house on Dec. 16, along with Justin’s girlfriend and two other young children, and police have suggested that three adults are holding back information about what happened that night.

“As far as Elisha is concerned, she has been honest, open and told the whole truth,” Bourget said.

Phoebe DiPietro, Elisha and Justin’s mother and the owner of the house, has told CNN she was not home on the night of Dec. 16 when Ayla allegedly vanished. Speaking to WLBZ, Bourget denied rumors that there was a party there that night and said Phoebe would not have allowed drugs or alcohol in the house.

Waterville police announced Tuesday that charges have been filed in a vandalism incident at that house earlier this month. On the night of Feb. 3, Phoebe DiPietro called 911 because someone was breaking her windows. In a press release, police said 19-year-old Jeremy Hanson has confessed and was summoned for criminal mischief and violating the conditions of release.

The second charge stems from a previous unrelated case involving alleged driving to endanger, criminal mischief and reckless conduct with a weapon, according to police. Police do not know if he had any connection to DiPietro’s family. FULL POST

Houston sold more than 170 million albums, singles and videos over the course of her career, according to her official website.

She had a string of seven straight number one hits on the Billboard pop chart in the 1980s, including "Saving All My Love for You" and "The Greatest Love of All."

The music legend was also an actress, best known for her star turn with Kevin Costner in 1992's "The Bodyguard." The soundtrack to that film is one of the top-10 biggest selling albums of all time.

Houston recently filmed "Sparkle," a remake of the 1976 hit that's loosely based on the story of The Supremes. It was her first movie role since 1996's "The Preacher's Wife." The film - co-starring Mike Epps and Cee-Lo Green - is due out August 10, according to Sony pictures.

She married R&B singer Bobby Brown in 1992 and gave birth to a daughter, Bobbi Kristina Houston Brown - her only child - nearly a year later. The two had a tumultuous relationship, some of which was documented on the reality show "Being Bobby Brown" on the Bravo network. The pair divorced in 2007, and Whitney was awarded custody of their daughter.
