Kidnapped girl Jaylin Boudria back home with family

SWANSEA, Mass. (FOX25, myfoxboston) - A 1-year-old girl allegedly kidnapped by her aunt is back home safe now after police found her alone in a Connecticut industrial park.

Little Jaylin Boudria’s mother, Kristen Johnson, is relieved the nightmare is over, and she’s telling her half-sister to turn herself in.

Johnson said she and her half-sister Alyssa Johnson were stopped at a gas station in Swansea when they stopped to get coffee.

"She asked me to go into to get the coffee, because she was going to pump gas. She pushed my 3-year-old daughter out of the car, sent her in the store. And when I went to go back to the car, the car was gone, with the baby in it,” said Johnson.

Alyssa Johnson, 38, sped off with Jaylin inside.

Kristen Johnson said Alyssa had never threatened Jaylin and was “obsessive with her.”

She called police who sent out an Amber Alert. Jaylin’s father went out on his own to search.

"I just instinctively got on the highway, on 195. I knew she has a Pennsylvania hometown so I just headed that way. I happened to be, when they found her, within 20 minutes of where she was,” said Jason Boudria

Jaylin was found safe hours later in Middletown, Conn., about 25 miles south of Hartford.

She was taken to a hospital for evaluation and released before 8 p.m.

Alyssa Johnson is still on the loose.

Police believe Johnson is driving a silver Kia Rio possibly bearing a Minnesota license plate.

The family thinks she may be in Pennsylvania.

Anyone with information should call police.
