A missing one-month-old Washington boy was found dead in a park and now police say his father has been arrested in connection with his death.
On Jan. 19, the Port Townsend Police Department announced they were looking for a newborn infant who they believe was kidnapped by his father, 37-year-old Jordan T. Sorensen.
Police received a tip and were able to locate Sorensen around 10 a.m. on Jan. 20, KCPQ reported. However, the baby was not with his dad.
Officials said officers believed the infant was in danger because they believed Sorensen was actively evading police and was unable to provide basic life necessities for his son.
