Child abducted

Police are investigating the apparent abduction of a 14-month old boy from a Northeast Baltimore home. The toddler has been identified as Cory Dwight Green Jr., seen here in a picture given to us by city police.

Parents told authorities they heard a door closing about 2 a.m. and then discovered the boy missing. Cory was last seen wearing dark blue pajamas. Four other children in the home were not harmed. Anyone with any information is urged to call Baltimore police at 410-396-2100.

In another bit of breaking news, the suspect charged with killing his ex-girlfriend and hiding her body in a underground cable vault in North Baltimore was found dead in his jail cell Monday night at the Central Booking and Intake Center.

Police tell me hanged himself; we're awaiting official word from the Medical Examiner.

About Peter Hermann

Peter Hermann started covering news for The Baltimore Sun in 1990, first in Anne Arundel County and, starting in 1994, reporting on the Baltimore Police Department. In 2001, he was assigned to Jerusalem as the Baltimore Sun's Middle East correspondent. He returned in 2005 as an assistant city editor overseeing crime coverage. In 2008, Peter returned to the beat as a daily reporter and blogger. A recent BBC report featured him in a segment on the harsh realities of covering crime in Baltimore.

Coverage will focus on crime trends, problems in neighborhoods in the city and elsewhere, profiles of victims and police officers and try to offer readers a fresh perspective on one of the most vexing issues facing Baltimore and its future.

Contributing to this blog is Justin Fenton, who joined The Sun in 2005 and has covered the Baltimore City Police Department and the criminal justice system since 2008. His work includes an investigation into Cal Ripken Jr.’s minor league baseball stadium deal with his hometown of Aberdeen, a three-part series chronicling a ruthless con woman, coverage of the killing of five Amish children at a schoolhouse in Nickel Mines, Pa., and a job swap with a British crime reporter to explore differences in crime-fighting. A special report looking into how city police handle rape cases led to sweeping reforms that changed the way sexual assaults are investigated in Baltimore. He was recognized as the best reporter in Baltimore by the City Paper in 2010 and by Baltimore Magazine in 2011.
