Tips in the wake of the Amber Alert led to a vehicle owned by Noe’s parents, LAPD Capt. Ruby Flores said. The vehicle was illegally parked, but there was no sign of father or the baby.

Police don’t know if Carlos Reyna has any other means of transportation, Flores said. The family told investigators he has ties in Mexico.
