Amber Alert canceled: Seattle toddler found safe, dad taken into custody - Q13 FOX
SEATTLE — Police found a missing 23-month boy safe early Wednesday morning and took his father into custody. The boy, Aaron Lopez, was being returned to his mother, who had legal custody of the child. Seattle police found the boy and his father, Daniel Lopez-Andino, at a relative’s home in the Skyway area and entered the home early Wednesday to recover the boy and arrest the father, who is not a legal custodian of the child. Police said Lopez-Andino, 24, abducted Aaron after a strong-armed robbery of the child’s mother in the 3000 block of South Chicago Street Tuesday. The child’s mother told police that Aaron’s father physically assaulted her, took her purse and car keys and grabbed her son. Lopez-Andino then buckled Aaron into the front passenger seat of her silver 2003 BMW 325 4-door and sped off. Officers spotted the BMW at 39th Avenue South and South Carkeek. Police discontinued their pursuit out of concern that Lopez-Andino’s reckless driving would cause a collision, police said. Seattle Police say a SWAT team snuck into a home and rescued a 23-month-old boy who had been kidnapped by his father, Daniel Lopez-Andino. The child was allegedly abducted by Lopez-Andino during a robbery of the boy’s mother, who was assaulted. Source: q13fox.com
