According to charging documents, King's grandmother told investigators that the boy was with Day and that she was not a suitable guardian.
She told police Day should be charged with kidnapping.
Community members also told police they had seen King with Day. Police determined she was helping hide him because she did not want him returned to state custody.
On March 13, King was found at a home in the Curtis Bay area after Baltimore police followed up on a tip.
When officers entered the home, King was found in bed with Day.
After he was located, he was taken to a hospital for evaluation.
The search effort included coordination between BPD, the U.S. Marshals Service, and other local and federal partners.
When police asked Day if she knew they were looking for King, she responded, "Yes, for a long time."
