Update to Amber Alert issued for 3-month-old Maxence Sirois HAYWARD, Calif., July 1, 2026 11:55 a.m.-The Hayward Police Department is providing an update regarding the AMBER Alert issued earlier today for 3-month-old Maxence Sirois. The AMBER Alert was issued after Maxence Sirois was not returned to his father as required under a court-ordered custody agreement. Investigators identified the child's mother, Marina Kazakova, as the suspect and believed she had fled with Maxence in a white 2016 Mazda CX-5. On July 1, 2026, the California Highway Patrol located the suspect vehicle in a parking lot near the intersection of Wilshire Boulevard and Veteran Avenue in Los Angeles. Officers subsequently located Marina Kazakova nearby and took her into custody without incident. Maxence Sirois was found safe and unharmed.
