The boy was taken in the early hours on Sunday by the mother's boyfriend while they were visiting family. The boyfriend, Ummad Rushdi, was arrested earlier this week after telling a friend that he shook the crying baby to death and then buried him. Police were searching locations in Lancaster and York counties. The evidence was found in Columbia, Lancaster County near were Rushdi's car was found. Police are not saying what that evidence is but a search warrant indicates a car seat and shovel were found in his trunk. Rushdi lives in York, PA. He is currently being held on kidnapping charges.

The suspect grabbed her purse containing her credit cards, phone, $65 cash, and driver's license. He then rode away back west on Manning. He is described as a black male, about 20 years old, six feet tall with a muscular build. He was wearing a bright green t-shirt and tan shorts.
