An AMBER Alert for a missing 4-year-old Idaho girl has been discontinued after the Owyhee County Sheriff’s Office located the youngster.
Laney Landry, who was last seen in the Bachman Grade region of Owyhee County on Sunday, was discovered Monday evening.
Authorities feared Landry was in immediate danger and was probably stolen by 55-year-old Rand Gruber, who was driving a white 2010 Ford Escape.
The Owyhee County Sheriff’s Office told Newsweek there are no further developments in the young girl’s kidnapping, but it confirmed Gruber is not a relative.
“To our knowledge, he [Gruber] is not related to her [Landry] by blood,” the sheriff’s office said Newsweek.
Landry is described as a black female who stands approximately 3 feet, 6 inches tall and weighs 36 pounds, with brown hair and brown eyes.
Gruber is described as a Caucasian male who stands around 5 feet, 8 inches tall, weighs 180 pounds, and has brown hair and green eyes.
What is an Amber Alert?
AMBER Alerts are issued under particular situations to assist in the recovery of abducted children.
To issue an AMBER Alert, the kid must be under the age of 18, and there must be a reasonable belief that the child has been abducted and is in immediate danger. Furthermore, there must be sufficient descriptive information regarding the child, abductor, or implicated vehicle. To increase the odds of a successful recovery, the alarm must be given soon after the abduction occurs.
In 2023, the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children assisted law enforcement, families, and child welfare agencies with 28,886 missing child cases.
