A statewide Amber Alert for a 6-year-old boy abducted in Auburn has been canceled.
Authorities have taken into custody Sandra June Bennats, 34, who is accused of abducting her 6-year-old son, of whom she does not have custody. The child is in the care of authorities.
Bennatts is the noncustodial mother of Mason Joseph John Bennats-Miller, whom was believed to be in danger, according to the King County Sheriff’s Office.
Sandra Bennatts reportedly forced entry into her mother’s home, tied her mother up at knife point and took her autistic son, the sheriff’s office reported.
While the alert was active, authorities were on the hunt for a grey 2009 Acura RDX driven driven by Bennatts who was thought to be heading south.
