CASSIA COUNTY, Idaho — A 4-year-old girl from Cassia County has been found safe in Nevada, ending a search that sparked an AMBER Alert Tuesday afternoon.
According to Idaho State Police, Alaina Duey was taken by her grandmother Elizabeth Rose Crofts Tuesday morning.
The girl's mother, Natalia Duey, told police that Crofts had picked Alaina up from a Burley home and was supposed to take Alaina to school, but never made it there, according to Duey.
Duey then went to Crofts' hotel room at the Budget Motel and found she had checked out. ISP sent out an AMBER Alert for Alaina, Crofts, and the car they were believed to be traveling in, a 2004 Pontiac Grand Prix.
The pair was found late Tuesday night in Elko, Nevada, authorities say. Officials previously said that Crofts may be traveling to the Boise area or the state of Arizona.
According to Alaina's mother, Crofts did not have permission to take the child out of the area.
Alaina is safe, and is currently with law enforcement in Nevada until she can be reunited with her family.
Crofts was taken into custody and is currently held in the Elko County Jail on a charge of second-degree kidnapping. She will be held without bail until she can be extradited back to Idaho to face the charges.
Second-degree kidnapping is punishable by up to 25 years in prison.
