Kidnapped Ennis child reunited with father, second suspect still at large
Police said the 7-month-old, who was taken away from his mother without consent, has been safely found and the mother is in custody.
ENNIS, Texas – Police said the 7-month-old, who was taken away from his mother without consent, was found safe and the mother is in custody.
The man who was wanted for helping the mother take the child was not caught. He is considered armed and dangerous.
Late on Friday afternoon. The Amber Alert search for 7 month old Miguel David Lee Ramirez has ended in Parker County. According to police, he was taken away by his birth mother, 20-year-old Faith Reid, on Thursday morning.
Ennis Police say they worked with the FBI to concentrate most of their resources west of the DFW metroplex in Tarrant County and Parker County. Detectives believed Reid might have family or help in the area.
“Technically, both parents currently have equal custody. But since the father had custody of the child, he is said to be the main custodian at this point.
Joey Ramirez walked into the Parker County sheriff’s office Friday to meet with his son Miguel.
Joey says he was sick for more than 30 hours after Reid kidnapped Miguel from his day care center in Ennis. As soon as he got the good news on Friday afternoon, he drove straight to the sheriff’s office.
The Parker County Sheriff says a Weatherford MP spotted the wanted white Ford F-150 without gas around 4:30 p.m. on Friday. Reid was in the driver’s seat and Miguel was safe and sound.
The same white truck was last seen leaving Joey’s Ennis house on Thursday morning. Police say Reid and 25-year-old Marcus Nast broke in and took the sleeping 7-month-old son out of his cot.

Police say Nast put a gun to Joey’s head before he and Reid drove off with Miguel.
Authorities say Nast is not in custody. He was last seen walking near the area where Reid was arrested. Nast is wanted for a major attack with a deadly load of weapons.

Chief Anthony says his top priority is making sure the child is safe, healthy and Reid is in custody. As a father, he says this case was very personal.
“We worked tirelessly to find this baby. It is not right that it happened and we wanted justice and the baby to be safe and that happened,” he said. “I’ll be able to go home, hug my kids, and go to bed tonight.”
Police say both parents have custody of Miguel, but his primary custodian is Joey. Family members say Reid was not involved in their child’s life.
Reid is being held in Parker County Jail on serious kidnapping charges. She is being moved to Ellis County.
The authorities are still on the lookout for Nast. They are offering a $ 1,000 reward for information leading to his arrest.
