SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (KELO) — The missing baby and the woman suspected of kidnapping him were found in Detroit, Michigan, on Wednesday, Sioux Falls Police said.

30-year-old sentenced to a year for beating girlfriend

The baby, Chosen Butler, age 7 months, “appeared unharmed” Michigan authorities said. Butler was reported missing on February 28 and last seen February 27.

Accused kidnapper Betty J. Cross is being held in Michigan. A warrant for first-degree kidnapping had been issued for Cross on Tuesday.

The baby is in protective custody in Michigan. South Dakota Department of Social Services will facilitate his return to South Dakota.

According to court documents, Cross had been caring for Butler since August. Child Protective Services told Cross the day before he went missing that he would be placed with another family.

When CPS arrived at her apartment, neither Cross or the 7-month-old were anywhere to be found. Her 2008 red Jeep Liberty was also gone.

Courts documents say camera footage showed three people carrying multiple bags and blankets from Cross’s apartment last Thursday evening. One of them was seen carrying a child that looked like Butler.

On Tuesday, Sioux Falls police tried to call Cross, but her phone was inactive. So, they issued a warrant.

“Situations like this obviously aren’t very common,” Minnehaha County Chief Deputy Sheriff Jeff Gromer said. “The more serious the crime or more serious the violation or the person that we’re looking for on the warrant, that really changes the practices as to how we’re going to go about serving the warrant.”

Court records say CPS has had no contact with Cross for almost a week.
