Tyler’s mother says she put her baby to bed at about 10:30 p.m. Monday night and woke up at about 11 a.m. Tuesday to find him missing.
St. Louis County Police officer Rick Eckhard said he would like the community to be on the lookout for a Caucasian man described as being in his 30s, 5’9″ tall, wearing a black hoodie and dark sweatpants reportedly seen carrying a baby in a blue blanket at around 11 a.m. Tuesday.
He is asking people to look for a discarded blue baby blanket or light blue pajamas with little trucks on them. Eckhard reports that detectives who were in the home do not believe that the baby could have gotten out of his home on his own. The only people home at the time of his disappearance were his mother and grandmother.
Another baby missing from his crib in Missouri – Tyler Dasher – National missing persons |neighbor told police they saw a small child being carried in a blue blanket by an unidentified person a few blocks away at around 11 a.m..
Eckhard said it’s very concerning that the report came in independent of the missing child report, and that the report of the man with the baby was made at the time Tyler was discovered missing.
The baby’s home is located on Clevedon in Affron Missouri which is located just south of St. Louis.
Tyler is described as a Caucasian boy having blond hair and blue eyes. He was last seen wearing light blue pajamas with trucks on them, and had a blue blanket in his crib. He weighs about 20 pounds and is 24 inches tall.
An operator at the St. Louis County Police Department said during a phone call Tuesday that Tyler has four upper and four lower teeth and has a cherry-colored birthmark on his left shoulder. She said anyone with information is urged to call St. Louis County Police at 314-889-2341.
Police cordoned off an area ten blocks around the home, located in the 7700 block of Clevedon Street. A K-9 unit was called to the scene to aid in the search. Police found no evidence of forced entry at the scene, KSDK.com reports.
St. Louis County Police Department Officer Rick Eckhard said the only people living at the home are the child, his mother, and his grandmother.
KSDK.com reports the FBI has also been brought in to investigate, though Eckhard did not confirm this. He did say multiple agencies have been brought in to assist in the search that has now been expanded. They have brought in K-9 units and are going door-to-door talking with neighbors.
Eckhard said the child’s mother has been removed from the home and they are trying to unite her with her family. She is extremely distraught at this time, he said during an interview with KMOV.com just outside the baby’s home.
While they have not ruled it out, Eckhard says the child most likely would not have been able to walk away from the house on his own. Officers that inspected the house determined it would have been very difficult for Tyler to leave on his own. Police are doing a complete search of the home to rule out the fact that the child might still be inside.
Eckhard said Tyler had his own room in the house.
