"She is now in good hands, which is a huge relief to all of us who were involved with attempting to locate her and bring her home," Chief Ahmed Haidar said in the report.
A male who was in the apartment at the time she was found at first denied any knowledge of her whereabouts, the police report said. Officers then acquired a search warrant for the apartment and located Keaton. The male has since been taken into police custody while the Wayne County Prosecutor's Office reviews the case.
Haidar credited the work of the Dearborn Heights Police officers, U.S. Marshall's office and other law enforcement agencies, along with tips from the public in determining Keaton's whereabouts.
A recap of the case and additional details are the topic of a news conference Thursday afternoon.

Prosecutors: Uniformed Detroit cop assaulted, pointed gun at mother of his children
An ex-Detroit police officer is accused of following the mother of his children into a parking lot on the city's west side, holding her at gunpoint and assaulting her while in uniform. The Wayne County Prosecutor's Office on Tuesday, Aug. 19, announced it was charging Justice Calvin, 31, with assault with a dangerous weapon, felony firearm, larceny from the person and domestic violence. He turned himself in earlier the same day, according to a media release from Prosecutor Kym Worthy's office. Calvin, who was an officer at the time, allegedly trailed the woman in his vehicle to the parking lot of a nursing home at Schaefer and Fenkell just before midnight on Jan. 26, the release said. Once in the parking lot, he pointed his gun at her and forcefully removed her from the passenger side of her vehicle, then physically assaulted her. Calvin was due to be arraigned Tuesday afternoon in 36th District Court. The Detroit Police Department did not immediately reply to a request for comment.

Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Deputies with the San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department (SBCSD) in California are searching for a reportedly kidnapped 7-month-old boy after his mother told authorities she was attacked, and that the infant was stolen from her. Newsweek reached out to the sheriff's department via email Friday night for additional information. Why It Matters The reported abduction of a 7-month-old in a parking lot of a shopping center raises immediate concerns of public safety. What To Know The SBCSD posted about the mother's account around 1:30 a.m. ET Friday, saying that deputies from the Yucaipa Station were at the scene in response to the report of the missing child. Deputies say the boy, named Emmanuel, was last seen wearing a black Nike onesie. He is described as weighing 21 pounds and 24 inches tall, with brown hair and brown eyes. Deputies also note that the child is cross-eyed. In a follow-up post, the sheriff's department said it is continuing its investigation, as the child's mother says she was attacked outside a store on Yucaipa Boulevard. "K9 scent-tracking dogs were deployed but the child was not located. No suspect information is available at this time," deputies added in the post. On August 14, 2025, at about 7:47 p.m., deputies from the Yucaipa Station responded to the 34000 block of Yucaipa Boulevard regarding a reported missing seven-month-old boy. This is an active investigation, and we are seeking the public's help in locating the child. He was last… — San Bernardino County Sheriff (@sbcountysheriff) August 15, 2025 In the latest update around 10 p.m. ET Friday, the SBCSD said the child has still not been found, adding, "our investigators will continue to work on this case to locate the child." In an interview with local media outlet KTLA in Los Angeles, the mother of the child, Rebecca Haro, said the incident occurred outside Big 5 Sporting Goods, where she went to buy a mouthguard for her older son's football practice. Haro said she brought her 7-month-old with her and noticed he needed to be changed. "I was going to get the diaper and somebody said, 'Hola,' and I don't remember anything since," Haro, who has a black eye, said in tears, KTLA reports. "I woke up here on the floor," she said, adding that she did not see the child afterward. What People Are Saying Jake Haro, the infant's father, in an interview with KTLA: "Whoever took my son, please return him. We just want him back. ... We won't do anything to you. Just give us our son. Keep him safe, don't hurt him, make sure you feed him and change him." What Happens Next Investigators in the sheriff's Specialized Investigations Division continue working the case. As of 11 p.m. ET, there were no reports or descriptions of a person of interest or suspect. People with any information are urged to contact deputies at the Sheriff's Dispatch via phone at 909-387-8313.
