A missing 2-week-old girl from Detroit, Michigan, that was taken by her father, prompting an Amber Alert on Saturday morning, Jan. 13, has been found safe.
A tweet by the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children confirmed that the Amber Alert was canceled.
The infant, Bella Osterman, was turned in by a woman at about 8:30 a.m. the same morning
“Apparently, a family member received a call to meet him and the child was turned over,” Detroit Police Chief James Craig said in an interview with reporters posted live on the police department’s Facebook page.
Authorities are still searching for the father, who police say has a history violent crime and forcefully took the girl from her home.
The baby appeared unharmed, police said, but is still undergoing a medical evaluation.
Cordney demanded entry into the home to see his child at around 1:35 a.m. on Saturday. But after Bella’s mother refused, he forced himself into the home, police said. He took Bella and ran away.
A police statement published on WDIV-TV describing the suspect reads: “Cordney Osterman is 23-year-old black male, light complexion, medium build with black hair, black eyes, beard and mustache. He was last seen wearing a blue sweatshirt, black sweatpants and burgundy shoes. Cordney is the biological father of Bella.”
