Baby found dead after being kidnapped by father

The infant who was kidnapped by his father was found dead on Saturday, Port Townsend Police say.

PORT TOWNSEND, Wash. - The infant who was initially reported as kidnapped by his father, 37-year-old Jordan Sorensen, was found dead on Saturday, according to the Port Townsend Police Department (PTPD).

On Friday, the PTPD sent out an alert saying they were attempting to locate a missing and endangered one-month-old boy who was believed to have been taken by Sorensen.

After receiving a tip on Sorensen’s location, police were able to locate and arrest him at around 10 a.m. Saturday morning.

Authorities say Sorensen initially resisted arrest, but police eventually brought him into custody, and he led police to the baby’s location. The baby was found dead in Kah Tai Park.

The PTPD is expected to release additional information.

Police said the infant was in danger because they didn’t believe Sorensen was able to provide basic life necessities for the baby, and he was believed to be actively evading police.

Sorensen was also wanted for questioning related to kidnapping, criminal mistreatment and reckless endangerment.
