Clarification: This story has been updated to reflect the latest information from authorities about Santiago’s visit to the FBI office in November. Officials initially said Santiago had left his newborn child in the vehicle along with a firearm. But the FBI corrected that assertion on Sunday, saying the infant was not left in the car. “The child was in constant custody and care of the FBI, inside our facility, until his mother retrieved him,” said Staci Feger-Pellessier, a spokeswoman for the Anchorage FBI office.
