A newborn who vanished from a southern Wisconsin home was found alive in a tote bag this morning at a gas station in eastern Iowa.
Town of Beloit Police Chief Steven Kopp says the nearly week-old Kayden Powell was discovered by the police chief of West Branch, Iowa, checking along Interstate 80 at around 10.15am Friday.
FBI acting special agent G.B. Jones said at a news conference the chief heard the infant crying and discovered the child swaddled in blankets and placed in a tote bag outside a gas station.
Authorities say baby Kayden appears to be in 'excellent health' despite the frigid temperatures.
'Our efforts are clearly focused on reuniting mother and child and the rest of the family members with the child. That's the immediate focus. In fact we're taking steps right now to make sure that happens,' Jones said.
Federal, state and local law enforcement officers had been looking for the baby since early Thursday when his mother, 18-year-old Brianna Marshall, discovered him missing from a bassinet in a Town of Beloit homeSOURCE-DAILYM
