UPDATE: Amber Alert Now Issued For Baby Snatched From Crib In Guerneville

SONOMA COUNTY, CA – The California Highway Patrol has issued an Amber Alert for a woman who is suspected of taking her 7-month-old son from his grandmother's Guerneville residence Sunday morning.

The Sonoma County Sheriff's Office issued a "be on the lookout" Sunday for 35-year-old Hannah Ruth Ashley, and the CHP issued the Amber Alert around 2 p.m. today on behalf of the sheriff's office.

Ashley was last seen driving a silver Subaru Forester with California license plate No. 5JKZ255, sheriff's Sgt. Spencer Crum said.

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, Ashley, was involved, deputies said.

Sheriff's officials said this morning that the boy is not believed to be in danger and there has never been a threat of violence toward the infant.

"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 Sonoma County Sheriff's Office said. "During recent child visitations, it was reported that Ashley made threats to take her child back."

The CHP identified the boy as Henry Massey, a white male who is 26 inches tall and 15 pounds with brown hair and gray eyes. Ashley is 5 feet 6 inches tall, weighs 125 pounds and has brown hair and brown eyes.

CHP Officer Juan Leon said the sheriff's office likely requested an Amber Alert to broaden the search for Ashley and the infant after investigators exhausted their search efforts in the Guerneville and Sonoma County area.

A parent who abducts a child often goes to a relative or stays in the local area, Leon said.

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