Elk Valley RCMP have confirmed that abducted three-year-old child Kienan Hebert was returned to his Sparwood family home between 3 and 3:15 a.m. Sunday morning, September 11, alive and appears to be in good health.

As a result of the child being located, the BC Amber Alert in effect at this time has been stood down. Investigators are continuing their efforts to apprehend the suspect.

It is being reported that Kienan was found sitting on a sofa in the living room, though the house was empty at the time because his family was staying elsewhere.

Police continue their search for 46-year-old Randall Hopley, suspected of abducting Kienan, with checkpoints being established around Sparwood.

Yesterday, Sept. 10, Kienan’s father made an emotional plea to the abductor:  “We’re speaking to whoever has Kienan right now. We’re just asking, please bring Kienan to a safe place right now, like a gas station or a store parking lot.”
