Law enforcement officials are asking for the public’s help in finding a 6-month-old baby boy who was abducted Saturday from Columbia Falls.

According to information from the Montana Department of Justice, Lucas Warner was taken by his non-custodial father Andrew Warner and babysitter Hayli Emerson.

They are possibly in a late 1990-2000s white Chevy extended cab pickup, unknown license plate. The Dodge Dakota in the previous alert has been located.

Andrew Warner is reportedly bipolar and off his medication.

Baby boy Lucas Warner is described as having blonde hair with blue eyes, two feet tall and 25 pounds.

Andrew Lawrence Warner is 20 years old, described as 6 feet tall, 160 pounds with blonde hair and hazel eyes.

Hayli Emerson is 19 years old, 5 feet tall, 159 pounds, blonde hair and green eyes.

If you have any information, call Flathead Sheriff 406-758-5610.

An AMBER Alert is a rapid notification system to alert the public and solicit their assistance when a child has been abducted and is facing grave danger.

The U.S. Department of Justice recommends the following criteria for issuing an AMBER Alert:

1. There is reasonable belief by law enforcement an abduction has occurred;

2. The abduction is of a child age 17 years or younger;

3. The law-enforcement agency believes the child is in imminent danger of serious bodily injury or death;

4. There is enough descriptive information about the victim and abduction for law enforcement to issue an AMBER Alert to assist in the recovery of the child.
