Title: 4-Month-Old Baby Abducted from San Joaquin County Home, May Be in Bay Area
San Joaquin County, CA – The San Joaquin County Sheriff’s Office is on the lookout for a 4-month-old baby who was abducted from his home in Thornton and may currently be in the Bay Area. The incident occurred around 4 p.m. on Saturday, prompting a widespread search effort.
Initially, authorities suspected the ex-boyfriend of the child’s mother, who is not the baby’s biological father, as the possible abductor. However, shortly after the infant was reported missing, law enforcement officials located the man in Sacramento without the baby. According to KRCA, he claimed that the child had been left with a family member. Despite multiple attempts to reach the ex-boyfriend, immediate success was not achieved.
The San Joaquin County Sheriff’s Office believes that the baby may have been taken to Sacramento, Tracy, or the Bay Area. Desperate to locate the child, officials are urging anyone with information about his whereabouts to call 209-468-4400 and select option one.
This case has sparked concerns and intensified efforts to ensure the safety and well-being of the missing baby. The San Joaquin County Sheriff’s Office is actively coordinating with various agencies to conduct a thorough search across different jurisdictions.
