Sheriff's investigators said little about the puzzling case they are working as a kidnapping. The infant's parents were questioned in a routine interview Monday, said sheriff's spokesman Lt. Greg Brown. Family vehicles were impounded for tests, but he wouldn't say if anything significant was found. No note was found at the scene. Brown said, adding the searches were a way for authorities to cover all their bases.
Family members say they believe someone familiar with the house snatched the little girl.
Neighbors in the area reported several attempted break-ins recently. Community Resource Deputy Peter Maurer said the area had also experienced several day burglaries, including one where a thief kicked in the front door. Statistics show abductions of infants by someone other than family members are rare. Since 1983, only 170 such cases have been reported to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children. More than half of those were taken from health care facilities, spokeswoman D'Ann Taflin said.
