"We must have checked the house a half-dozen times," Belardo said. "And then one of the officers happened to go up in the room, pull the covers back and the baby was asleep in bed."

Police said in a news release that the child fell asleep between pillows in a way that made it appear as though the bed were neatly made.

The child was missing for about an hour and a half, according to WNYT.
