An Amber alert was issued and activated by the Washington State Patrol (WSP) for a missing 17-month-old child who was abducted in Port Orchard. The child was later found at approximately 6:45 a.m., canceling the Amber alert.

Just after 11:30 p.m. Sunday night, the child’s father, Andrew Gilbertson, 32, allegedly abducted 17-month-old Ryderie Gilbertson from his mother. The mother and child were on Overaa Road in Port Orchard. Andrew took off with the child in a 2008 white Ford F-150. Its license plate number is C83831N.
