Amber Alert canceled, missing boy found
A 1-year-old boy abducted from a home in the Creston area Saturday evening was found safe and sound early Sunday morning in Fife, Wash., according to authorities.
Brayden Blasius reportedly was abducted by his noncustodial parents, Beau Frank Blasius, 28, and Bryndi Coryn Gibson, 23, after they forced entry into his custodial grandparents’ home on Yoeman Hall Road.
The grandparents reported the abduction late Saturday evening.
Flathead County Sheriff’s Office deputies investigated and immediately issued an Amber Alert and broadcast an attempt to locate for the two suspects and their reported vehicle — a 1994 Chevy S-10 with Montana plates that was stolen from the father of an acquaintance of the suspects.
Information indicated the suspects were headed to Washington state. The alert indicated the boy was believed to be in danger and that the suspects might be under the influence of drugs.
According to Flathead County Sheriff Chuck Curry, Blasius and Gibson were located and apprehended in the city of Fife, Wash., at about 9:05 a.m. local time, or 10:05 a.m. Montana time.
The missing child was in their possession at the time of apprehension and was recovered unharmed.
The child is in the care of the Washington State Child Protective Services. Blasius and Gibson are being held for future prosecution of felony custodial interference and auto theft charges under the direction and review of the Flathead County Attorney’s Office, Curry said.
