S.A.R.A.A. Alert Issued: Police Trying To Find Child, Mother Abducted By Father

Just how many S.A.R.A.A. Alerts do we have a month? I'm starting to get embarrassed and irritated.

KSDK - St. Louis Police issued a regional S.A.R.A.A. Alert after a child and his mother were apparently abducted by the boy's father, who may be forcing them to go to Mexico.

Police were searching for 1-year-old Axel Cortez. He and his mother, Lenora Anguiano, were last seen in the 3800 block of Eichelberger in St. Louis.

St. Louis police believe 26-year-old Martin Cortez abducted the woman and the child, and may be forcing them to go to Mexico, perhaps on a bus.

Police say they believe the child may be in danger.

A S.A.R.A.A. Alert is a St. Louis Regional Abduction Alert that is similar to the nationwide Amber Alert.
