Missouri police searching for missing baby

3680847


     (AP) – Authorities in the St. Louis area are searching for a

5-month-old girl after someone took off with the minivan she was in earlier this

week.

     The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports the baby, Eden Brooke Hawthorne, was last

seen in the 2006 Chrysler Town and Country van at a Church’s Chicken in Normandy

on Monday night.

     Police say the mother rode to the restaurant with the baby and four other

people. The mother and a man went inside the restaurant, and the minivan left

with the baby inside.

     The connection between the mother and the others in the van wasn’t clear. A

police alert issued Thursday describes their identities as “unknown.” It’s also

unclear why the alert wasn’t issued until Thursday or when the baby was reported

missing.
