Washington Boy Found Safe


A 4-year-old Washington boy who cops say was kidnapped by his 34-year-old babysitter has been found safe and returned to his father. Cops say Tristan Cooper was abducted by his caregiver, Trina Leite.

Authorities located the little boy after someone who saw the family's story on TV tipped police off to the boy's whereabouts when they spotted a car matching the description. Authorities found Leite in an alley near Green Lake, WA, driving the boy's father's car and talking with an unknown man. Tristan was recovered unharmed and now, cops say Leite is facing 2nd degree kidnapping charges.
