Four Corners authorities say 2-year-old Nicholas Lucero is safe and sound Tuesday night after being abducted by his father.
Christopher Lucero, 32, was taken into custody after a police chase in Ignacio, Colo.
Deputies say Nicolas appears unharmed.
The boy was taken from his home on Sunday by the father, Christopher Lucero of Farmington. Deputies says Lucero has a history of assaults against the boy's mother and hit and kicked her before taking the toddler on Sunday.
He later called the mother and told her he killed the boy and threw him in the lake.
McCloskey says it is not uncommon for people involved in domestic violence to try to inflict emotional pain on the victim in such ways.
