(NewsNation) – Kentucky State Police are asking for the public’s help in locating an eight-month-old baby.

According to police, Miya Tucker of Reynolds Station, Kentucky, was not found during a search and inspection of a motel room where fentanyl and methamphetamine were found.

Her mother, Tesla Tucker, 29, was arrested and faces multiple charges, including neglect of a minor. Her father, Cage C. Rudd, 30, was also arrested and charged at the same time.

Another adult, Ricky Smith, was arrested on the same charges.

Miya Tucker was last seen in the care of her parents, but police said they were unable to locate her during a welfare check. Family members said they had not seen the baby since early May.

Police described the parents as uncooperative and said there was a possibility the child was in the care of other family members.
