San Antonio mother who disappeared with baby in jail

SANTO ANTÓNIO – The San Antonio police tracked and arrested a woman who had been investigated by missing persons for weeks.

Records show that D’Lanny Chairez, 20, was arrested Tuesday morning on charges of abandoning or endangering a child.

Police issued an alert earlier this month about Chairez, who, along with his 18-month-old son, was reported missing.

An arrest warrant testimony says relatives told the police they were worried because they hadn’t seen the baby since Thanksgiving.

The police also released two clips taken from surveillance cameras inside a drugstore and on a VIA bus.

The store video appeared to show Chairez pushing a baby stroller, while there was no evidence of a baby in the bus video.

The statement states that investigators believe that Chairez may have abandoned the child.

She says she refused to answer investigators’ questions, but said she did not feel ready to be a mother and that she considered giving the baby up for adoption.

Investigators say they searched his trailer and found a sheet in a crib with what proved to be human blood.

SAPD investigators believe that baby James is still in the San Antonio area. They are asking for any information on the whereabouts of baby James and who he might be with to call the SAPD Missing Persons Unit at 210-207-7660.

Chairez is held on a $ 250,000 bond.
