NEWTOWN, CT — Police are searching for a 17-month-old girl in Newtown after issuing a Silver Alert Tuesday night.
The Newtown Police Department said it is searching for Blue McGrath, a white female with brown hair and blue eyes who weighs about 24 pounds, according to a news release issued Wednesday.
Police said Blue is believed to be with her father, Brennan McGrath, a 33-year-old Newtown resident described as a white male with blue eyes, a bald head and a red beard. Investigators said he may be driving a white Lexus or a blue McLaren.
According to police, Brennan McGrath has allegedly kept the child away from her mother for an extended period of time and is now accused of violating a temporary child custody order issued by the court. Police said a Silver Alert was issued Tuesday evening after repeated requests to comply with the order were unsuccessful.
The Newtown Police Department said it is asking for the public’s help in locating the child and bringing the situation to a safe resolution.
Anyone with information is asked to contact Newtown police at 203-426-5841.
