Three more arrests have been made in the alleged parental abduction of a 1-year-old Miami boy that led to a Florida Amber Alert, authorities said Monday.
Rebeca Rodriguez, 56, Lazara Ortiz, 55, and Juan Pablo Mesa Jr., 33, were all arrested late Sunday, hours after the boy was found safe with his mother, 29-year-old Leydibet Hernandez, in Laredo, Texas, Miami Police said.
Rodriguez and Mesa are both charged with interference with custody and making a false report to police. Ortiz is also charged with interference with custody. It's unknown if they've hired attorneys.
Police said Mesa, Hernandez's boyfriend, and Rodriguez, Mesa's mother and the court-appointed guardian of the child, knew Hernandez had taken the boy to Texas but gave officers a false story.
Ortiz bought the bus tickets for Hernandez and the boy to go to Texas, according to an arrest report.
Hernandez and the boy were found Sunday afternoon after the statewide Amber Alert was issued. Hernandez remained in custody in Texas Monday and it's unknown what charges she'll face.
