Monroe County family abducted in Perinton as sheriff seeks public help

The is asking for the public’s help locating a Perinton family after deputies said three relatives were allegedly abducted Saturday afternoon near Crossover Road in Perinton. Investigators said 54-year-old , her 7-year-old daughter and her 9-year-old son were taken in an incident they believe was carried out by the mother’s son.

Deputies identified the suspect as 26-year-old and said the children are in imminent danger of serious harm or death. The sheriff’s office said there is no threat to the public.

The family is from Perinton in Monroe County, making the case a local one with a narrow and urgent focus: finding the three people quickly and safely. The sheriff’s office asked anyone who sees them or has information about their location to call 911 or the Monroe County Sheriff’s Office at 585-753-4178.

The reported abduction stands apart because investigators say the risk is to the children, not the wider community. That is the friction in the case — the public is not believed to be in danger, but deputies say time matters for the family at the center of it, and every lead could be the one that brings them home.
