SAN JOSE — A woman conspired with a man to abduct her family friend’s three-month-old baby while the child’s grandmother was unpacking groceries from her car, sparking a frantic 18-hour search by law enforcement that garnered national attention, prosecutors said Thursday in a criminal complaint.
San Jose residents Yesenia Guadalupe Ramirez, 43, and Jose Roman Portillo, 28, were charged with conspiracy to commit a felony, kidnapping a child under the age of 14 and first-degree burglary — all felonies — in connection with the abduction of a baby boy. Baldomeo Sandoval, 37, was initially identified by San Jose police as another suspect and arrested, but prosecutors didn’t file charges against him Thursday.
