Florida Amber Alert

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.

SATSUMA, Fla. — A missing 12-year-old girl has returned home, and the Amber Alert for her has been cancelled.

According to the Manatee County Sheriff's Office, Sarah Norton returned to her house, and detectives will be interviewing her to see where she has been.

She had last been seen Saturday morning by neighbors near her home.

Investigators said someone reported seeing her get into a car driven by an older man. The Florida Department of Law Enforcement issued an Amber Alert.

Norton was reported missing by her grandmother, who said she was on medication and could be mentally unstable.



Yay for a happy ending! I doubt they'll ever say where she was.
