ASPEN, Colo. — A child at the center of an endangered missing person alert out of Aspen has been found safe, according to the Colorado Bureau of Investigation (CBI).

CBI issued an endangered missing person alert at 1:59 a.m. Friday for the 5-year-old. The alert was requested from the Aspen Police Department. The alert was deactivated around 8 a.m. after the child was found safe, CBI said. The child’s name has been removed from this story.

No details were available on how the child was found.

Authorities believed the child was with 50-year-old Dagoberto Moreno-Romero, who had allegedly threatened to hurt the boy. According to the alert, the child’s mother was found with significant injuries.

The City of Aspen said the suspect was taken into custody on Friday.

The relationship between the child, mother and suspect is not yet clear.

CBI said the child was taken around 11:45 p.m. Friday. Law enforcement was concerned about the boy’s safety, as “direct threats have been made by this subject (Moreno-Romero) to harm the child,” according to the CBI alert.

Initially, investigators were looking for a silver Toyota, but at 2:28 a.m., CBI said they were no longer looking for the Toyota and instead were searching for a maroon 2007 Chevy Trailblazer with a kayak on the top. It’s not clear if this vehicle was found after authorities located the child and suspect.

No other details are available.

This is a developing story and will be updated.
