A 4-year-old girl at the center of an Amber Alert in Indiana Thursday was found "in good health" after an unknown person dropped her off at a Wendy's fast-food restaurant, police said.
The girl's father, Channing Scott, used a toy scooter to break out the window of a van and take her, authorities say.
Adayah, described as a black female, about 2 feet 6 inches and weighing around 40 pounds with brown hair and brown eyes, was last seen at 2:10 a.m. Thursday in Fort Wayne, police said.
Fort Wayne Police said they believe Adayah was likely abducted by her father, Channing Scott.
“Mr. Scott forcibly took the child by taking a toy scooter and breaking out a window of the victim’s van, which allowed Scott to remove the child out of the seat of the victim’s vehicle,” Michael Joyner, a spokesman for the Fort Wayne Police Department said.
Police said Channing is 46 years old, black man, about 5 feet 10 inches tall with black dreadlocks and brown eyes. He was last seen wearing a dark red shirt, gray sweatpants and black-and-white gym shoes, police said.
The suspect vehicle is a red 2011 Hyundai Accent with an “In God We Trust” Indiana license plate VKZ918, police said.
