ABILENE, TX -- Hours after an AMBER Alert was issued for 14-month-old Edgar Nathaniel Jesus Collins, authorities have located the baby near Kirby Lake in Abilene.

According to KTXS, 28-year-old Catherine Angeline Ocon abducted Edgar last night in Poteet, TX. The U.S. Marshals learned Ocon was in the Abilene area and coordinated their efforts with the Abilene Police Department.
