Amber Alert in IOWA

The AMBER Alert System began in 1996 when Dallas-Fort Worth broadcasters teamed with local police to develop an early warning system to help find abducted children. AMBER stands for America's Missing: Broadcast Emergency Response and was created as a legacy to 9-year-old Amber Hagerman, who was kidnaped while riding her bicycle in Arlington, Texas, and then brutally murdered. Other states and communities soon set up their own AMBER plans as the idea was adopted across the nation.

DES MOINES, Iowa -- Police said a girl and a man who touched off an Amber Alert Friday have been found in Van Buren County.

The suspect's green 1998 Toyota Corolla was found abandoned in northwest Van Buren County. The Ottumwa Police Department had requested the assistance of the Iowa Division of Criminal Investigation in the case.

An Amber Alert had been issued for a 9-year-old Gloria Bonilla Lopez, of Ottumwa.



She was last seen between 8 a.m. and 8:30 a.m. at Ottumwa Elementary School. Police and family members said 29-year-old Brendan Bhanvan Stanley was waiting on the corner for her bus Friday morning.
