On Friday, Nicholas, who was taken from his Riverside home Wednesday, was found at a motor home park in Otay Lakes about 30 miles East of San Diego. Authorities were assisted by a a campground ranger who spotted the motor home police had described.

Debra Rose, Nicholas' mother, was arrested in connection with the kidnapping as well as a second suspect. Debra Rose, and the man taken into custody with her are suspects in the abduction, officials said.

"Obviously, we are elated that Nicholas is safe," said Riverside County Sheriff-elect Bob Doyle.

Nicholas was reunited with his father Friday night. His mother was charged with one count of felony child abduction and was being held on $1 million bond at the Indio Jail in Riverside County, police said.

Investigators in Riverside County had said earlier the adults could be traveling with the boy in a tan Fleetwood Bounder motor home with a Florida license plate. A caller from the motor home park in Jamul, California, near the Mexican border, tipped police off to the vehicle's whereabouts early Friday afternoon, Doyle said.

Once police learned the boy and the two adults were at the motor home park, several sheriff's deputies and state Highway Patrol officers surrounded the vehicle.

"At 12:55 [p.m.], we were able to take Nicholas into our custody and arrest two individuals, Debra Rose and the male suspect," Doyle said.

Rose had cut and dyed both her hair and her son's hair.
