UPDATE (1:13 PM) : Police say a woman arrested in the kidnapping of a 3-month-old baby from his San Jose home is a friend of the family and was present when a man abducted the baby while his grandmother unloaded groceries.
San Jose Police Sgt. Christian Camarillo said Wednesday that Yesenia Ramirez had driven the child and his grandmother on a shopping trip and communicated with Jose Portillo before he entered the San Jose apartment and took the baby Monday.
He says surveillance video shows Portillo walking toward the apartment with a car seat and a small blanket. The baby was found unharmed Tuesday inside a home where Portillo lived.
Camarillo says a motive is still under investigation.
Authorities are searching for a man who allegedly kidnapped a 3-month-old baby in the San Francisco Bay Area.
The man walked into a home in San Jose around 1 p.m. Monday and left with the child, Brandon Cuellar. The family does not recognize the suspect.
Police released a video clip that shows the man walking down the sidewalk holding a baby carrier covered by a white blanket. Authorities have not issued an Amber Alert because investigators do not have a vehicle description. San Jose is a city about 50 miles from San Francisco.
Brandon was last seen wearing a white long-sleeved onesie with dinosaurs.
