A frantic search continues for an 11-month-old baby whose mother was found murdered Monday. Police believe the baby could be in danger.
An Amber Alert was issued late Monday for Achilles Lambert. His father, 38-year-old Patrick Lambert is a suspect in his disappearance.
Police have also named Lambert as a person of interest in the murder of the baby’s 27-year-old mother.
Anastacia Oalikhena Lambert’s body was found Monday afternoon inside a refrigerator in southwest Houston.
Police say Lambert called 911 two months ago to report that her husband was threatening her with a knife. Officers went to the apartment that day but no charges were ever filed.

Police say a strong odor led a maintenance worker to the upstairs unit at the Braeswood Oaks apartments on Monday. He’s the one who found the body. He told KHOU 11 News that there was blood all over the floor.
Police said Lambert had been stabbed.
Homicide detectives were back at the complex at 10555 Fondren Road Tuesday to search for evidence. They removed the refrigerator Tuesday afternoon and took it to the crime lab for further testing.
According to police, Anastacia Lambert was last seen walking around the complex about two weeks ago. Neighbors recall often seeing her with a small child. She is originally from West Africa.
Patrick Lambert had lived several places including Clearwater Florida, New York and Hawaii.
Police told KHOU 11 News that the power at the apartment had been turned off back on November 20th because of a late payment.
The couple had apparently been living there since June.
A neighbor who didn’t want to be identified said he heard a strange noise coming from the apartment last week.
“You know how when somebody put something like hammer, put a nail through the wall, something like that?” he said. “It’s not like that but it was just going throughout the whole house so I just thought it was maintenance.”
“I can’t imagine who would do that or why someone would do that,” said neighbor Susan Washington. “You can’t help but feel the sadness for their family to have to find this and experience this.”
The victim didn’t have a job and had no family in the area which explains why no one realized she was missing.
They also don’t know what kind of vehicle Patrick Lambert was driving. One neighbor said he might have been a taxi driver.
The FBI has joined the investigation.
Anyone with information is urged to contact the HPD Homicide Division at 713-308-3600.
