A mother and child suspected of being kidnapped in Lancaster were found safe by U.S. Customs and Border Patrol, the LASD Major Crimes Bureau said.
Sabrina Sanchez, 31, and 2-month-old Itzel Sanchez were last seen at about noon Sunday with 25-year-old Efrain Sanchez, according to the California Highway Patrol.
Efrain Sanchez had made recent threats to murder his wife and child, the LASD said in a press release.
"It is believed the victims left with the suspect out of duress and fear for their safety, after he previously committed a sexual assault upon a family member," the department added.
Sanchez is still at large, and he is believed to be armed with a handgun. His car, a Silver 2007 Buick Lucerne with Colorado license plate AUI-X94, also hasn't been recovered.
Anyone with information is urged to contact the LASD Major Crimes Bureau at (562) 946-7893 or Lancaster Sheriff Station at (661) 948-8466. Anonymous tips can also be sent to the Crime Stoppers hotline at (800) 222-8477 or www.p3tips.com.
