SARATOGA SPRINGS — Authorities issued an Amber Alert early Sunday for two young children believed to have been abducted by a family member in Saratoga Springs, and are asking the public for help locating them and the suspect.
The suspect was identified as Dane Stephen Richman, 6-foot-2 and about 195 pounds, with brown hair and green eyes, according to the alert. Authorities said his clothing description was unknown.
"There is concern for the safety and well-being of the children as the suspect has been seriously depressed, selling possessions, facing financial stress, and abandoned his home," the Amber Alert states.
