old baby in the back seat. shortly after the carjacking the baby was found safe about a mile away. >> the people that took the car left their jackets on top of the baby, so i guess they weren't really trying to kill the baby or anything or hurt the baby. >> a person walking by saw the baby under a tree and called police. so far no arrests have been made. the investigation into ashanna flight 214 still has a way to go but the work at the crash scene there is winding down. claude deep wopping joins us live to let us know what is happening on the runway and when it might re-open. good afternoon. >> reporter: good afternoon, they told me they are in the final stages of their investigation and clean up and repair work is underway but there is still a lot of work to do ahead. i want to show you the wreckage, that is flight 214
