Amber Alert Kidnapping Suspect Extradited Back To Florida
February 12, 2011
The man who allegedly kidnapped a 17-month old Tuesday night has been extradited from Alabama to the Escambia County Jail in Pensacola.
Keith Square Sr., 36, of the 500 block of North B Street, Pensacola, is being held without bond on charges of kidnapping, interference with custody and a probation violation. He is a former resident of Blackmon Street in Century, according to Escambia County Circuit Court records.
Square Sr. is accused of kidnapping Keith Square, Jr. Tuesday, prompting a nationwide Amber Alert for the toddler. According to police, Square Sr. is not the father of Square Jr., and the mother has sole legal custody.
The child’s mother, Monique Slater, 29, of Pensacola, was visiting friends in the 1200 block of Cervantes Street in Pensacola Tuesday, according to police, when Square Sr. showed up and asked to take the baby to see some friends.
Davis said the mother agreed. A short time later, the suspect Square called Slater and told her she would never see the baby again. Pensacola Police said Square called Slater several times threatening to harm the baby and also said that he and the baby “would not be taken alive.”
The vehicle believed to have been used in the kidnapping was later located in Brewton Tuesday night, where the driver told Brewton Police that the suspect and baby were dropped off at a residence near Century Woods on West Highway 4 in Century.
The Escambia County Sheriff’s Department unsuccessfully checked several possible suspect locations in Century, including homes on Blackmon Street and West Highway 4, Tuesday night in an effort to the find the child.
Someone dropped the child off at East Brewton (Ala.) Police Department Wednesday morning. About an hour later, Square, Sr. turned himself into authorities in Alabama and was booked into the Escambia County (Ala.) Detention Center in Brewton.

You doubt her word? the lady who told him he was the father until reports show a paternity test said otherwise?
David the trusting
Okay Proud I am going to have to agree this jsut does not add up. There is a definate fish smell to this story. When I first read the story i did not think too much about it but having had time to your right 2 and 2 seems to hve made 5.
I agree with Proud. Something’s just not right!!
Mark my words, this story is very fishy! I hope law inforcement checks out Mr. Square’s cell phone provider to see if he actually made these calls. Cause something isn’t adding up. A father who just took his son to visit friends in Brewton with the ok of his Ex might have done just that. This might have been an opportunity she saw for some payback. Like I said things do not smell just right with this one.
2+2 seems to have added up to 5 here. Just doesn’t seem right!
hope gov scott saves room in the prison system for the likes of this guy…why the mother let her baby go with this guy in the first place just baffles me.
