Script A CARJACKING- WITH A BABY INSIDE OUR TOP STORY TONIGHT. A SALT LAKE COUNTY MOTHER LEFT HER CAR RUNNING THIS MORNING WHILE SHE RAN INTO A 7-11 ONLY TO COME OUT AND FIND HER CAR AND HER BABY... GONE. NICEA DEGERING HAS BEEN FOLLOWING THIS STORY AND JOINS US LIVE FROM THE MOUTH OF BIG COTTONWOOD CANYON. THE MOTHER SAYS IT ONLY TOOK MINUTES. SHE WENT IN THIS 7-11 TO GRAB COFFEE. SHE CAME OUT AND SOMEONE HAD GRABBED HER CHILD. PEGGY KEELE SAYS SHE AND HER BOYFRIEND ONLY LEFT 2 YEAR OLD BRAXTON WAITING OUTSIDE 7-11 IN THEIR CAR FOR MINUTES THIS MORNING... BUT THAT'S ALL IT TOOK. DEPUTIES STARTED SCOURING THE SIDESTREETS WHILE BRAXTON'S PARENTS WORRIED ABOUT THE WORST. ONE MILE AND 60 MINUTES LATER IN A QUIET NEIGHBORHOOD THE BLUE EXPLORER WAS FOUND, THE MOTOR STILL RUNNING, BRAXTON STILL IN HIS CAR SEAT. SEARCHING FOR THE SUSPECT, DEPUTIES PEERED IN CAR WINDOWS AND PEEKED IN GARAGES. WITNESSES SAY THE MAN- SHOWN HERE ON 7-11 SURVEILLANCE TAPE WEARING A STRIPED SHIRT- WAS INSIDE THE STORE BEFORE HE STOLE THE CAR. REUNITINED WITH HIS FAMILY BRAXTON SEEMS NO WORSE FOR THE WEAR, BUT HIS MOTHER AND FATHER SAY THEY WON'T SOON LET HIM OUT OF THEIR ARMS OR THEIR SIGHT. AND BRAXTON IS DOING VERY WELL TONIGHT. WHEN DEPUTIES FOUND HIM HE WASN'T EVEN CRYING, HIS MOM SAYS HE DOESN'T SEEM TO KNOW WHAT ALL THE COMMOTION IS ALL ABOUT, BUT SHE DEFINITELY DOES, AND SHE SAYS SHE WANTS TO THANK DEPUTIES SHE SAYS WAS VERY LUCKY. SHE PLANS TO NEVER EVER AGAIN LEAVE BRAXTON ALONE IN THE CAR. THE SUSPECT IS STILL ON THE LOOSE TONIGHT. 2200
