The search for a father and daughter – a registered sex offender and the 7-month-old that he abducted from Virginia – is ongoing on Tuesday after a baby-selling incident reported in Durham was confirmed to be unrelated to the case.
A Durham police spokesman said a caller claimed to have been approached by a man trying to sell a baby around 1:20 a.m. on Tuesday in the 100 block of East Woodcroft Parkway.
