3-Month-Old Milwaukee Boy Found Safe, Amber Alert Canceled

MILWAUKEE, WI — A 3-month-old baby boy reported missing Wednesday was found safe, the Milwaukee Police Department announced.

Anthony Crudup Jr. was found safe around 1:45 p.m., police said in a statement. Police had issued an Amber Alert, which is now canceled.

Crudup's mother told police she had let a group of people stay over at her house, and when she woke up they were gone with the boy, Milwaukee Police Inspector Paul Lough said at a news conference. Police haven't named the group of people who took Crudup.

"We're using every available resource to locate Anthony at this time," Lough said. "We could use every bit of assistance from the public and community groups available."
