LA VERGNE, Tenn. (WTVF) — A 7-year-old child reported missing in a custodial interference case Friday has been found safe in Alabama, and the non-custodial parent is now in custody.
La Vergne Police said officers responded to a report of possible custodial interference and quickly obtained a felony warrant and issued an Endangered Child Alert.
Authorities said multiple law enforcement agencies worked together across state lines to locate the child, who was found unharmed.
Police said license plate reader technology helped investigators identify and track the vehicle involved, aiding in the search.
The child has since been placed with appropriate family members, and a referral was made to the Department of Children’s Services, according to officials.
September 11, 2001 is a day most associate with terror and tragedy. Austin Pollack shares a story from that day about hope and persistence: the effort to save a little girl’s life – with an organ donation. The problem? The young patient was in Houston, and her life-saving liver here in Nashville. With the grounding of all civilian aircraft, how could it be done? “Nobody ever said this isn’t possible.”
