Illinois Authorities cancelled an Amber alert issued for a 5-year-old girl who was kidnapped by her grandmother late Sunday.
Makayla Christy was found unharmed with her grandmother about 8:40 a.m. in a motel in the outskirts of Granite City, Ill., where she’d been taken from her mother the previous evening.
The 44-year-old grandmother, Deborah McFadden, was being interviewed by authorities and may face kidnapping charges, police said.
Authorities initially believed she was heading for Texas because she drove away with Makayla in a Mercury Sable bearing a Texas license number.
“We traced the call to a motel and found them there,” Miller said. “We arrested the grandmother and returned the girl to her mother.”
