BUTLER COUNTY —Law enforcement authorities are investigating two suspects in connection to a Kansas Amber Alert for a missing 5-year-old boy on Thursday in Butler County.
At 2:40p.m. Thursday, a woman later identified as 31-year-old Danielle Banzet entered a school day care in Rose Hill, Kansas posing as a Social Worker, according to the Kansas Bureau of Investigation. The woman gained access to 5-year-old Brixton Sisk, exited the school, entered a black Suburban with a paper-30 day tag and departed the location.
Banzet was ultimately identified as the boy's mother who had her parental rights severed by the court. Actions taken by Banzet prior to the abduction, including threats of violence, indicated that Brixton was in imminent danger and the KBI issued an Amber Alert.
Just after 6:45p.m. Thursday, the KBI reported Banzet, a male counterpart later identified as the boy's father 33-year-old Zachery Sisk and the boy switched vehicles to a 2010 Volkswagen Jetta, with a Kansas license and may be fleeing the immediate area. The KBI reported just before 9:30p.m. authorities found the Jetta abandoned in rural Cowley County.
A short time later, the Oklahoma Highway found the suspects and the boy in Noble County, Oklahoma. Troopers took the adults into custody and the KBI reported the boy was safe.
Banzed and Sisk remain jailed in Oklahoma on requested charges kidnapping, felon in possession of a firearm, transporting a loaded firearm, using a firearm while committing a felony, possession of a controlled substance and related drug accusations.
