Baby Female Arnold, called Baby Girl Arnold in some reports, was born in late October 2016 and last seen on November 9, 2016, in Kansas City, Kansas. The infant had been placed in protective custody by the Kansas Department for Children and Families a few days after birth, then disappeared under unclear circumstances after being removed from her parents’ custody.

Court records show the parents were engaged in custody litigation and that the mother was found to be actively evading authorities to prevent the child from being located. Both parents have refused to disclose the infant’s whereabouts; the father testified at a March 2017 hearing that he had no knowledge of where Baby Arnold or the mother were and declined to provide further details.

The circumstances around the removal and the parents’ noncooperation leave key questions about the baby’s location and welfare unanswered. If anyone has information about Baby Female Arnold’s whereabouts or the case, please share what you know with investigators.
