The MP heard the "faint cry of a baby" during the search and followed the sound, only to find the baby alive, face down, buried under a pile of sticks and debris, according to a press release from the sheriff's office.
The baby was dressed only in a wet and stained sunscreen, according to the release. In total, the sheriff's office estimates that the authorities spent more than six hours searching for the baby early Sunday morning.
The child had been entrusted to Francis Carlton Crowley, 32, on Saturday, according to the release. That night, MPs received calls reporting a man who was acting strangely in the Lolo Hot Springs area.
While deputies were heading to the scene, other appeals were launched saying that the man was threatening people and saying that he had a gun, the statement said, and that he was in his pockets.
Crowley left the area before the MPs arrived, but they learned that the baby that was to be with him had not been seen for several hours.
Crowley returned to the hot springs and was apprehended by the police, according to the liberation states. As MPs tried to question him, the release said it seemed that Crowley was under the influence of drugs and made no sense to the officers.
Crowley made statements to officers saying that the baby was probably buried in the mountains.
It was not clear if Crowley was badigned a lawyer from Monday, according to the Missoula County Attorney's Office.
Crowley is also a fugitive from Oregon, according to Dylan Arthur, executive director of the Oregon Parole Board. Crowley was under post-prison supervision for several counts of burglary and a criminal mischief leader.
