Amber Alert Issued In Missouri After Suspect Stole Car With Baby Inside
Police are searching for Jospeh Nickell, who authorities say stole a vehicle with one-year-old Emiliona Gonzalez inside.
A Missouri mother is facing arrest after filing a false police report that triggered an Amber Alert for her 1-year-old son, according to police in St. Louis. The alert was issued late Sunday night after the suspect stole a blue Dodge Charger with the infant inside. However, the alert was canceled early Monday morning after police confirmed the child was safe.
The mother is being charged with filing a false police report. The Amber Alert, named after 9-year-old Amber Hagerman who was kidnapped and murdered in 1996, is a public notification system used to quickly disseminate information about abducted children across various media platforms.
