Infant Kidnapped Eight Years Ago Found in Texas
Mar 15th 2012, 01:39

SAN AUGUSTINE, Texas –  A boy who was kidnapped as an infant eight years ago is believed to have been found in Texas, according to authorities.

When the boy, Miguel Morin, disappeared in 2004, his former babysitter and godmother, Krystle Rochelle Tanner, was accused of taking him -- but the case went cold in 2006.

Last summer, however, child welfare investigators received a complaint that Tanner and her boyfriend were neglecting their two child. Authorities said they couldn't find the older boy.

The San Augustine County Sheriff's Department began investigating in January.

Tanner was arrested this week and is in police custody in San Augustine, about 150 miles northeast of Houston. She is being held without bond.

Authorities say they were contacted by Tanner's sister, who led them to the Miguel. The child is believed to be in the care of Child Protective Services now.

Authorities are hoping to reunite him with his mother, Auboni Champion, soon. 

"We love him very much and we never gave up," Champion told KTRK-TV.

Upon learning of Tanner's arrest, Champion reportedly said she was "overwhelmed."

"It was like, I knew this family. It wasn't like, hey stranger. No, I knew this family. I spent time with them. We had Thanksgivings and Christmases," Champion told KTRK-TV.

The Associated Press contributed to this report.
