3-year-old girl kidnapped from Birmingham birthday party; Amber Alert cites ‘extreme danger’
An 11-year-old boy said he saw a man get out of the SUV, pick up Kamille and put her in the vehicle.

She had in yellow, white and blue hair bows. Her shoes were found in the parking lot so police believe she is barefoot.

Have you seen this child? KAMILLE MCKINNEY

So many vehicles that fit the category with the exception of the peanut butter protruding bumper. Any idea what a protruding bumper means? I suppose really doesn’t matter because any bumper that color on a dark suv I’m calling.

I hope and pray there is an ex who feels like this is his child and will keep her safe. I’ll be driving this area and surrounding states tomorrow and will be looking intently.

I also wondered what was meant by a "protruding bumper"

The difference in color suggests there was previous damage/it was replaced...wonder if protruding means it either wasn't replaced/attached properly or had yet another accident and is damaged/sticking out, or maybe the replacement part isn't the correct model or exact year and is a poor fit?

This makes sense. Maybe they replaced the bumper with a used one from a salvage yard and haven't painted it yet. The peanut butter color could also be primer. MOO

[...]

The suspect vehicle is a blue or black SUV, possibly a Toyota 4-Runner, with rims and a “peanut butter brown” protruding bumper.

[...]

Praytor said they are treating Kamille’s disappearance as a stranger abduction but are not ruling out any scenario. “Anytime a 3-year-old is not with their parents, you consider them being in danger,’’ Praytor said.

Police said they’ve been in contact with the FBI and the U.S. Marshals Service and have all available resources from the BPD on the search. “We’re pulling out all the stops to find out what happened to Kamille,” Praytor said.

[...]

To the person or people who have Kamille, Praytor said this: “We would ask you to not take this any further. You can take her to a fire station, a police station, a hospital, anywhere you can drop the child off safely so she can be returned to her family.”

[...]

Praytor said anyone who had children at the birthday part Kamille was attending, or anyone who was in the vicinity, to please let investigators know. “It’s possible some folks may not know what happened and may have seen something,’’ he said. “Anybody whose child was at the party, give us a call.”

He also said there are a lot of businesses in the area of 41st Street and Messer Airport Highway that may have surveillance cameras that recorded the suspect’s vehicle as it left the scene. “If you have video cameras on your business or house, please contact us,’’ he said. “We feel like we still have hot leads and we’re following up on those as we speak.”

[...]

You would think that the list of parents and children were already available to the whoever invited them all? Did they all just take off after she was abducted?

Yes, you would think so. I guess if the parents dropped them off and someone else took them home or they walked home LE still wants to speak to the parents...? Not sure where I'm going with this. Hmmm MOO

OMG ....not again!!

Hopefully, they'll find some video and get a better description of these two perps. Very scant information other than the model and color of their vehicle.

It does seem the Birmingham police are giving this a big publicity push, though. Someone knows who these people are and has seen them in that unusual older 4-runner.

 

[MissMalowe]

Do stranger abductions usually involve couples?

 

[iQuill]

I wonder if the description of the “peanut butter” bumper has caused the perps to paint it or even remove it? Encourage all to be on the lookout for a similar vehicle without a front bumper. And if it has been removed it has likely been tossed somewhere. Look for it! They could have travelled all night...and could be a long way from the area already ... ugh! Why would a couple ... snatch a toddler ... for what possible reason? I cannot fathom...

C'mon people, get them that camera footage!

Enticing children with candy? Super creepy.

I really hope this girl can be found quickly and unharmed now that there is more of a detailed description of the suspects involved

Some quick notes from the PC, paraphrasing, moo:

•This picture was taken yesterday:

(Image source, post #1 of thread)

•This was not Camille’s birthday party and does not live at that residence.

•Appealing to abductors to drop her off somewhere safe such as a fire station, police station, hospital.

•They are treating it as a stranger abduction but not ruling anything out.

•Anytime a child is not with her parents, the child is considered to be in danger, Re: the length of time she has been missing and it’s potential implications, “10 seconds is too long”.

•Mother is being cooperative and family is very upset.

•Appealing to businesses and residences in the area who may have surveillance footage for LE to review.

•Many leads they are following up on. “We still have hot leads right now”.

•Re: more pictures, “we will probably release some things throughout the day as we get them.”

•Encouraging people to call in with “any tidbit”. “You don’t have to give a name.”

•IMO LE is working this to the best of their ability to help bring this child home and appears to be appealing to the community for any help and seems as though they will be communicative with the media re: the progress of this investigation, moo. Our Late Great @Foxfire would be glad to see that the value of the community and the public in a case like this is being emphasized.

This is heartbreaking. And she's only three!

Been looking up Toyota Sequoias for a visual reference, that are blue, green but can't find any with tan colored trim though in certain lighting/angles, certain ones can appear tan.

This one, for example: (**RANDOM used vehicle currently for sale**)

First photo of front view of car, trim looks to be a very faded black or dark grey. But side view, with light hitting it, surprisingly looks kind of Tan, yes?
