The FBI wants the public’s help in finding a 20-year-old baby sitter accused of snatching a 1-year-old Philadelphia boy and taking him to Maryland.

Vanessa Perez is facing a federal kidnapping charge for the alleged abduction of Tremayne Peak, who has been safely found in Germantown. Perez remains on the run. She has no known fixed address but had been living in the Philadelphia area recently, according to the FBI.

Police caught up with Perez at a home in Germantown on Tuesday night, but she saw the authorities and fled, leaving the boy behind.

Authorities said Perez’s own son of the same age was in foster care and she may have been trying to replace her own son.
