Child Missing From Crib In Guerneville; Officials Seeking Mother In Possible Abduction

SONOMA COUNTY, CA – An alert was issued today for a 35-year-old woman suspected of abducting her 7-month-old son from his crib in a Guerneville home, according to the Sonoma County Sheriff's Office.

The child's legal custodian, his grandmother, called authorities Sunday morning at 8:30 a.m. reporting the baby was missing from his crib and that she believed her daughter, Hannah Ruth Ashley, was involved, deputies said.

"There has never been a threat of violence towards the child, and the child is not believed to be in danger, however the grandmother has legal custody," the agency said. "During recent child visitations, it was reported that Ashley made threats to take her child back."

The department this morning issued a "be on the lookout" alert for Ashley, who may be driving a silver Subaru Forester with CA license plates 5JKZ255.

Anyone who spots Ashley is asked to call Sonoma County Sheriff’s Dispatch at 707-565-2121 or 911.
