Authorities said an unidentified woman went to the family's home on Highway 47, south of Highway 30, about 30 miles southwest of St. Louis. She held the baby's mother at gunpoint and then cut the mother's throat with a fillet knife before fleeing with the baby about 12:30 p.m.
The suspect was described as white, 30 to 40 years old, 5-foot-8, weighing about 200 pounds, with dark or black hair pulled under a ball cap with a worn bill. She wore sunglasses, a black scarf around neck, a gray or brown T-shirt and blue jean shorts

Continued prayers that this little angel is found safe and unharmed and soon be reunited with Mom.
Prayers for Mom as well.
