MANCHESTER - An 18-month-old boy was found safe Monday morning after police say his father abducted him after an argument with the boy's mother.

The father, Kelly Soucy, 29, threatened to kill himself early Monday morning during an argument with his wife in Manchester but then took his toddler son and a handgun and fled in an old black and white Ford Crown Victoria, police said.

The incident prompted an Amber Alert, which was broadcast over local radio stations and posted on signs over the state's highways.

Soucy and his son, Waylon Soucy, 18 months, were both located just before 8 a.m. The child was not injured. Police have not released details concerning how they were located or if Soucy was arrested.

The incident began at 3:47 a.m. when Soucy's wife reported her husband suddenly left their Bodwell Road home with their young son after an argument, during which he threatened to kill himself with a handgun.

He fled with the child in the 2003 Ford Crown Victoria with New Hampshire veteran license plates of V 33235. The car has a spotlight mounted on the driver's door.

"Basically, it's an old black and white police car without agency markings," said Lt. Maureen Tessier.

Waylon was in a car seat in the rear. The Ford was spotted heading south on Route 28 in Londonderry near Interstate 93, Exit 5 off-ramp.

Waylon was described as white with blond hair and blue eyes. He is 36 inches tall and weighs 25 to 30 pounds. He was wearing a gray and red zip-up coat, red pants and blue and white shoes.

Soucy was described as a white man, 6-foot-1 and weighing 195 pounds. He has brown hair and brown eyes.

He was wearing a black hooded sweatshirt, blue jeans and black sneakers.
