Found Safe MT - James Lucas Warner, 6 mo., abducted by father, Flathead Co, 22 Aug 2020

hopefully the woman, Hayli, is of sound mind and looking out for the baby and making sure hes getting enough formula, nappy changes, etc. Babies are so fragile :(
I can't agree with you more. My fear is for her and the baby's safety if/when dad goes into desperation mode in his run to evade the law. She's only 19. I pray to God she ran because her heart and 19-y-o rational mind told her it was necessary in order to protect baby Lucas.
 
It appears they're changing vehicles along the way. OMG, be safe Andrew & Hayli!! :(

Have you seen this child? Lucas James Warner

Auto theft?:confused: I might have read that about the 2nd vehicle. I'd guess the first is/was his or someone he knew. Going read again.

ETA - Nope, can't find it. I guess that was an original thought I had from earlier today. Sry.

Maybe the last two are the same truck with an updated description?
I thought so too at first, then I noticed the years of the vehicles are different. It looks to me as if he's stealing white construction trucks. MOO

@MsMarple ETA - duh. :oops::) It took me a minute to understand your post. If I'm clear you mean - updated description as in they had previously given the wrong years. I guess it could be either way (correct erroneous desc vs. desc a "new" escape veh).

Crazy, huh? It could mean anything at this point IMO. But, yeah, I was wondering if LE was updating a description of the truck.

I think (or at least I hope) Andrew believes he's doing a good thing by taking this little guy and won't hurt him. From everything I've read a person suffering from bipolar is more likely to harm him or her self rather than others but I worry that Andrew may eventually feel like there is no way out and do something awful.
 
There's a video with the article linked below.

Aunt of abducted Montana infant: "Please bring Lucas to safety"

From the article you linked:
•believes this kidnapping was planned by Warner's non-custodial father and the babysitter

•Lucas Warner's family has a Facebook page called "Finding Lucas" to help share information about his whereabouts.
