Are these the parents? They look related. Having the crooked smile and noses I thought it was possibly the same person when I first glanced at the photos.

The Amber Alert has been extended into South Carolina.

I thought there was no such thing as a nationwide Amber Alert. At least that was what I thought we had determined with MCET's case.

I have seen the news say "nationwide" before but you are probably right. Amber Alerts still only showing for NC and SC as of right now: http://www.missingkids.com/AMBER

IMOO, that link is incorrect.

Hmm... since it's a transitional facility, maybe he was released but is still required to check in, do community service, counseling, etc. and so technically "still serving" in the program? I figured we would be hearing it in the news if this was an escaped convict. Still, he has a pretty long record. Armed robbery means he has had access to weapons in the past.

Hope baby Cali is ok!

See the orange w to the left of the case #? That means there is an active warrant on those cases and they are "inactive" on the court calendar since there is no telling when said person will appear. Or thats my understanding from monitoring other cases here in North Dakota.

Found safe! http://www.wltx.com/mobile/article/...ed-missing-nc-infant-found-safe/101-477221479

An Amber Alert that had been issued for a missing 3-month-old in North Carolina has been cancelled after the child was recovered safe.

Officers announced just before 7 p.m. Wednesday that 3-month-old Cali Marie Cochran had been found.

Her non-custodial parents, Rex Douglas Cochran Jr. and Heather Marie Cochran, were taken into custody around 5:25 PM at 445 Coffee Lane in Fletcher, North Carolina.


Officers from the Fletcher Police Department and deputies from the Henderson County Sheriff’s Office made entry and located them in the basement of a home there.

The child is safe and is being evaluated by medical personnel at this time, which is standard procedure when a child is involved.

Maybe little Cali was with relatives -- possibly due to the earlier charges of child abuse -- and the Cochran's knew where she was. I'm sure we will know more fairly soon.

Maybe this little girl will be one of the few fortunate ones. Let's hope!

Deputies said the Cochrans have previously had three children taken from their custody in North Dakota before this incident.
The family was living in Clyde, NC near some extended family when Haywood County DSS began investigating, deputies said. DSS went to the home on Northwood drive earlier and determined the baby should be placed in protective custody. Deputies said when DSS returned with a court order to take Cali, the family was gone.

Ahhh, so that explains it! Thanks, Grouchymom!

Now it makes better sense. They knew they were gonna lose their little girl. It's hard for me to understand this thing -- usually child abusers abuse their child(ren) because they resent them, or they think the child is possessed, or they're intoxicated/drunk or on a bad drug thing, or just plain mean. These people apparently wanted this child -- why? Are drugs involved here? It would explain a lot. I guess with their other children, all was okay for a while, then things got out of control. It's a mystery to me...

ETA: I do wonder how this will go in court & what their charges will be -- kidnapping, I guess. And I guess they had been notified of their little girl being taken away from them. SMH
