Authorities said they found a missing baby after an Amber Alert was issued for the child Monday.
Authorities issued an Amber Alert for Jaxton Brown around 7 p.m. Monday night and located him in Durham around 8:45 p.m. near the Big Lots off of Southwest Durham Drive.
Jaxton was born on Feb. 18.
Investigators with the Chapel Hill Police Department believed Brown was in danger when the alert went out. Authorities did not say why they felt the child was in danger.
The baby’s parents, Destinee Ariel Cothran and Justin Lee Brown, were listed as suspects in the abduction of the baby.
Security video from Big Lots showed the couple remove the baby from a car listed in the Amber Alert and take the carrier to the woods.
Cothran, 26, of Garner, is about 5 feet, 3 inches tall and weighs about 120 pounds. She has brown hair and hazel eyes.
Justin Lee Brown, 29, of Durham, is 5 feet, 8 inches tall and weighs about 160 pounds. He has brown hair and brown eyes.
As of Tuesday morning, the couple is not in custody.
Authorities believed the baby and couple were traveling in a white 1997 Mercury Mystique. Authorities found the car abandoned near where the baby was found.
When the Amber Alert was first issued, authorities said the three were last seen Friday at 5623 Durham-Chapel Hill Blvd. in Durham – where the Chapel Hill-Durham Red Roof Inn is located. Hotel employees declined an interview request with WRAL News on Monday.
