What to Know
- An Amber Alert was issued Friday for Owen Hidalgo-Calderon, who was abducted from Sodus, New York
- He was taken "under circumstances that lead police to believe that he is in imminent danger of serious physical harm and or death"
- The boy's mother, who had been missing a week, was found dead on an NY farm where she worked
More than 170 people searched Monday for a 14-month-old boy whose mother's body was found in western New York.
But Wayne County Sheriff Barry Virts noted Monday it would be very difficult for a child so young to sustain himself.
Virts says searchers are proceeding with the awareness that little Owen Hidalgo-Calderon might not be alive, but they hope he is.
The search crews combed a 350-acre (142-hectare) farm in the town of Sodus on Monday.
Owen has been missing since May 16. His 18-year-old mother, Selena Hidalgo-Calderon, was found dead Wednesday on the farm where she and her boyfriend worked. An Amber Alert was issued Friday for the toddler.
The 25-year-old boyfriend was arrested Wednesday on evidence-tampering charges. Virts says Reyes admitted burying the mother but not killing her.
Local
Reyes is due in court Tuesday.
