WAILUKU, Hawaii (KITV4) -- A Maui mom whom police say ran off with her infant son after losing custody of the boy to his father was found early Friday morning at a home in Kihei, police said.
Following an anonymous tip, Maui Police said they found Nadira Rosado, 37, and her 3-month-old son at a home in the 900 block of South Kihei Road just after 4 a.m. Police say Rosado and the infant were both in good health. The baby was later returned to his father.
The tip came after Maui County officials issued a county-wide Miale Amber Alert after the father expressed concern for his child’s safety.
Rosado was arrested on a complaint of first-degree custodial interference. She has since been released from custody pending investigation, police said.
WAILUKU, Hawaii (KITV4) -- Maui Police are searching for a woman who allegedly fled from her home in Wailuku after losing custody of her infant son.
Authorities on the Valley Isle issued a BOLO (Be On The Lookout) for 37-year-old Nadira L. Rosado on Tuesday after they say she fled with her 3-month-old son.
Police believe Rosado fled after a judge granted sole legal and physical custody of the infant to his father on Tuesday.
In addition to a custodial interference complaint, authorities say Rosado is also in violation of a temporary restraining order granted by the judge.
Police made checks with Rosado’s friends and associates in the area but so far they have not been able to the mom or the baby.
Rosado is described as being 5’8” tall and weighs approximately 105 pounds. She has brown hair and brown eyes. Police say Rosado may be driving in a blue 2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee with Hawaii license plate number LHN903. They say she may be traveling with her stepmother, Cindy August. A description of the baby boy was not given.
Officials at the Kahului Airport have been notified to be on the lookout for Rosado and the baby.
Anyone with information regarding Rosado or the baby’s whereabouts is asked to call Maui Police at 808-244-6400 or Detective Taylor Kamakawiwo’ole at 808-244-6469.
