A 3-month-old girl who had gone missing after she was riding in a stolen vehicle on Detroit’s east side was found safe on a porch, according to reports on Monday morning. She was found near where she was originally abducted.
An AMBER Alert was issued for Dakota Grimes after her father entered a Mini Mart at 12:54 a.m. local time. He left his Chevy Impala running while she was in the vehicle. When he came out, his car was gone.
The child was found on a porch at 8:30 a.m. There, she was taken to a hospital and is now in stable condition. The baby didn’t appear to suffer any trauma, Detroit Police Chief James Craig said at a news conference, reported the Detroit Free Press.
“The child was left on a front porch and someone that was doing work at that residence almost stumbled over the child,” Craig told the paper. “...This turned out to be a good news story.”
FBI Supervisory Special Agent Michael Glennon said agents remain on scene at the home where she was found.
