Sun City, AZ – The Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office is urging anyone with information to come forward about a missing two‑week‑old infant who was taken from Banner Boswell Medical Center on November 3. The baby, identified as Benjamin William Miller, is considered at risk because of his age and the circumstances surrounding his removal from the hospital.
Background and safety concerns
According to deputies, the Arizona Department of Child Safety (DCS) had already put a safety plan in place for Benjamin after his mother, 37‑year‑old Crystal Renee Miller, reported using drugs prior to his birth. DCS personnel arrived at the hospital to assume temporary custody, but Miller allegedly refused to surrender the child and left the facility on foot with the infant.
Details of the missing infant
Benjamin is described as a white baby weighing about five pounds, with no hair, and was last seen wearing a white and brown onesie. He was last seen leaving the hospital on foot, and his mother’s last known address is near the intersection of 19th Avenue and Glendale Avenue. Miller is not known to own a vehicle, and her current whereabouts remain unknown.

Deputies stress that the child’s safety is paramount and that immediate, continuous care is needed. They ask anyone who saw the mother or the infant after November 3, or who has any knowledge of their direction of travel, to contact the Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office at 602‑876‑1011.
Community response
