The search for a missing 7-month-old baby in California continued on Tuesday, as his mother, who said he was kidnapped outside of a store last week, has stopped cooperating with investigators, according to authorities.

Detectives say the baby's mom, who said he had been kidnapped, "was confronted with inconsistencies" in her story.

The case of a missing 7-month-old in Southern California has taken an ominous turn after the boy’s parents reportedly gave authorities inconsistent statements on what happened in a Big 5 parking lot last week and since have stopped cooperating with law enforcement.
