7-Month-Old Located and AMBER Alert Canceled

The recovery ends a targeted search that lacked the vehicle details needed to trigger a wider cell-phone emergency broadcast.

Overview

  • Law enforcement confirmed the 7-month-old who had been reported missing was safely located and the AMBER alert was canceled.
  • The alert named 37-year-old Raul Martinez as the person who took the infant near Vancouver, Washington, according to the Washington State Patrol and the Clark County Sheriff's Office.
  • Authorities did not send a broader Wireless Emergency Alert to cell phones because they lacked specific vehicle-identifying details such as a license plate number.
  • After officials said the child was found, news outlets removed the boy’s identifying information and photo from their reports to protect his privacy and safety.
  • The reports do not detail arrests or custody changes and officials have not released further public updates about charges or next steps.
