UPDATE 1:45 P.M. – Police say that a missing baby girl, the target of a local Amber Alert, has been found safe. She was found in Livermore, according to officials.

"Madilyn is safe, but her father, Michael Wallin, is still at-large," Mountain View police said on Twitter.

Patterson resident Michael Wallin, 45, was visiting his 4-month-old daughter Madilyn Wallin and her mother around 8:30 p.m. Tuesday at the Residence Inn at 1854 W. El Camino Real, located in Mountain View's Shoreline West neighborhood, when he allegedly took off with the infant.

He's believed to be in a blue 2007 Nissan Altima with paper plates, according to police. If you see him, you're asked to call 650-903-6395 or 911.

SANTA CLARA COUNTY, CA – Police are seeking the public's help in locating a missing baby who allegedly was taken by her father Tuesday night in in Mountain View. An Amber Alert has since been issued for the 4-month-old girl.

Mountain View Police and the California Highway Patrol report that the young child is named Madilyn. Her father, Michael Lenard Wallin, allegedly took her in a blue 2007 Nissan Altima that has paper plates and front and back and damage.

"Madilyn was wearing a white and pink ballerina outfit when she was abducted," the Mountain View Police Department said. "We are extremely concerned for Madilyn’s safety, and we would like to get her safely home."

Police said that at approximately 8:30 p.m. Tuesday, Wallin, of Patterson, was visiting with Madilyn and her mother at a Residence Inn in Mountain View. An argument between the infant's mother and Wallin ensued, and Wallin reportedly drove off with the baby sitting in his lap, the department said.

Madilyn’s mother was dragged by the car a short distance during the incident before she was able to break free, police said, adding that she was not seriously injured.

An adult son of the woman reportedly got into a vehicle and followed Wallin, but at some point, Wallin “brake-checked” the son, and the vehicles collided, police said. Wallin then drove off again, with Madilyn sitting in his lap in the driver’s seat. Police said Wallin did not have a car seat in his vehicle.

Madilyn is described as roughly 15 pounds and 2 feet tall, with blonde hair and hazel eyes.

Wallin is described as white with brown hair, brown eyes and distinctive tattoos across his torso and the tops of his hands. He's about 6 feet 2 inches tall and weighs approximately 220 pounds. The CHP says he was last spotted wearing a white Golden State Warriors t-shirt.

The Amber Alert was issued for Alameda, San Joaquin, Santa Clara and Stanisaus counties.

Anyone with information about Madilyn's whereabouts is asked to call 9-1-1.
