Missing 2-year-old Ethan Adeyemi has been located alive. 


A U.S Postal worker driving on I-95 called 911 just after 8 a.m. after seeing Adeyemi on the side of the road. He told police he had seen reports this morning of a missing child with a photo of the little boy. He stopped and took the child into his vehicle until emergency responders arrived. It appears Adeyemi walked approximately a half mile from where he went missing last night and was found on the side of I-95 northbound just prior to the Route 103. 

Adeyemi was transported to Johns Hopkins Hospital for treatment but appears to be in good health. 

The child was last seen running from family members outside his residence in the 7800 block of Blue Stream Drive in Elkridge at approximately 10:20 p.m. after following an adult out of the house. His family contacted police when they could not immediately locate him. 

Nearly a hundred police, fire and volunteer personnel searched throughout the night using K9 teams, residential doorbell camera video and a drone when weather allowed it.
