The search for an abducted 3-week-old baby came to and end at 7:50 p.m., on Friday when a San Diego Border Patrol agent with the Border Patrol Search, Trauma and Rescue (BORSTAR) located the baby with a K-9, confirms the sheriff’s officials. They were located in dense brush west of state Route 67, south of Lakeside Drive and north of Channel Road.

The vehicle that Fowler was driving was later found in the 1000 block of Vine Street in Lakeside. Authorities concentrated their search to that area at the end of the street which is a dead end. The area includes part of the San Diego River bed and has Highway 67 on one side and a horse ranch to the north.
The authorities spent most of the day and into the night searching for the baby and the Missing Person Examiner joined the search around 6 p.m.
The area is known to be the home of several homeless camps. The thick trees and shrubbery make it a perfect place to hide.
The Sheriff’s Dept. was alerted to where several homeless encampments were located and where Fowler may have gone to hide by Dawson Dean, who is knowledgeable of the area.
“I told the Sheriff’s Deputies and BORSTAR about several camps around the area and pointed out several trails that may have been used by the suspect,” said Dean. “The Sheriff’s Deputies immediately acted on the information.”
During the search for the baby, two new stuffed animals with tags still on them were found off of the trail by the Examiner, and the authorities were notified. It is unknown if those stuffed animals belonged to the baby or not.
A Search and Rescue team, the Border Patrol and the Sheriff’s Dept. joined together to search until just before 8 p.m. when the baby and Fowler were found.
The baby is fine and is being evaluated by paramedics. She will be taken to a hospital for checkup.
