Authorities locate mother of baby found at MSP Airport

The mother of a baby found at the Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport has been located and police have canceled an alert issued Tuesday night.

Airport police gave few details, but overnight thanked everybody who shared the alert and provided information that allowed investigators to locate her relatives.

Authorities had been searching for the parents of a girl, thought to be 10 months old, who was found at about 9 p.m. Sunday at the airport with a woman "in crisis."

The woman and child are believed to have arrived at the airport on a light-rail train. Investigators said they did not believe the woman was a relative or guardian of the child.

At the time of the alert asking for the public's help, no children matching the girl's description had been reported missing or abducted, according to the Bureau of Criminal Apprehension.
