According to the department spokesperson, Jeff Parks, at approximately 8:30am Friday morning the Sheriff's Office responded to a report of a missing 2-month-old baby in the 1100 block of Willey's Lake Road, east of Custer, WA.

The initial reporting party, a grandmother not at the scene, called 911 to report that her son had called her saying that when he woke up Friday morning to find his baby missing. The father checked with neighbors, who had not seen the infant either.

The mother of the child reported to the Whatcom County Jail on Thursday pending transfer to the Department of Corrections.

Whatcom County Sheriff's Office deputies and detectives responded to the area and also requested search dogs and air support to assist in the efforts to locate the missing infant.

Search and rescue teams were deployed in the afternoon to do a grid search of the area near the home as well.

A neighborhood canvas was done and a number of contacts were made with friends and associates of the parents in hopes that someone may have picked up the child while the father slept.

The father told police that the door to the residence was found open and nothing appeared to be out of place.

Due to the age and vulnerability of the child a statewide law enforcement bulletin was issued and local hospitals notified. The circumstances involving the missing infant do not meet the criteria and requirements for the AMBER Alert Protocol, which was not activated.

The missing baby is identified as:

Jon "Cecil" Anthony Frazier DOB: 06/17/2009 Male, 13 lbs, brown hair, with lighter brown hair on top front of head.

The infant may be in a blue blanket.
