Family Pleads For Safe Return Of Missing 7-Month-Old Boy

BALTIMORE (WJZ)—A missing Baltimore baby. He's been missing for three days now. The family is desperate for his safe return, and police are following up on new leads.

Derek Valcourt talked to the family at a vigil Sunday night.

The last two days have been agony for the little boy's family. They're now hoping for a miracle.

Friends and family comfort the mother of a missing 7-month-old boy.  Ki'Yauhn Birch was last seen Friday in the arms of 16-year-old Jonae Boozer, who is also now missing.

"I'm not worried about her," said Whitney McGee. "All I want is my son. I just want my son."

McGee last saw her son when she dropped him off to spend time with his father Charlie Birch, who was questioned again by detectives on Sunday about the disappearance.

"You know how the police do? They keep getting on my nerves and stuff, but I just keep telling them the same thing," Charlie Birch said.

The story as he tells it: he had recently met Boozer. They have a mutual friend. She was visiting him at a Lyndhurst Avenue home when he asked her to watch his son for a few minutes while he ran to a corner store to buy cigarettes.

"I come back. My son is gone. He's just gone," Charlie Birch said.

Hoping Boozer would return, Birch waited until the next morning to call police who are now assisting in the search.

It's all too much for the Ki'Yauhn's mother and those who loved the 7-month-old boy.

"He smiles. He's very playful, just a good baby," said Jason Lemmon, relative.

They're praying someone has seen 16-year-old Boozer and that little Ki'Yauhn is returned safely.

"If this person still has my great grandson, please bring him back," said Beatrice Bailey, great grandmother. "Please bring him back the same way you took him from my home-- unharmed and safe. We love him and we miss him verymuch, and we want him back."

Boozer is black, 155 pounds and 5'4" tall. She has a blond mohawk, and piercings in her lips, nose and eyebrow. She was last seen a wearing purple colored leopard patterned top and skirt. She may be in the Prince George's County or Montgomery County area.

Anyone with information on her whereabouts is asked to call Baltimore Police detectives at 410-396-2100.
