A 3-year-old boy who was taken from a Virginia home Wednesday has been found safe, but his alleged abductor is still on the run, police say.
Cayden Thomas Merchant was last seen at a home in North Chesterfield, Virginia, about 6:30 p.m. on Oct. 23. An Amber Alert was issued for the little boy about 10:45 p.m.
The alert was canceled just under an hour later when Merchant was found. Investigators did not say where Merchant was located.
But police say his alleged abductor 40-year-old James Benjamin King is still on the run.
King is described a black man with brown eyes and a short afro. King was last seen wearing a Deadpool insignia T-shirt with light-colored blue jeans.
Police say he may be driving a red 2016 Hyundai Elantra with Virginia license plate XWS-1828 and may be headed to Petersburg, Virginia. Anyone who thinks they may have seen King or the car is asked to call 911 immediately.
