Kidnapped Child, Alisa Maier, Found Safe in Louisiana

In cases of missing or abducted children, it can be hard to remain hopeful that the child will show up. There have been so many reported instances of children that go missing who are never seen again. These reports are enough to break anyone’s heart, especially a parent that has a child of their own, who can imagine the pain of losing their own kid.

In Missouri  Alisa Maier was abducted from her front yard on Monday. Evidently, the 4-year-old girl was playing with her brother when a strange man grabbed Alisa and drove away with her in his car.

The local police immediately followed protocol and issued an Amber Alert for Missouri and the closest state of Illinois.

Against all odds - and to the relief of her family and anyone else following the story - Alisa Maier was found at a gas station a little before 10 am this morning.

The suspect who abducted her evidently cut off her hair in hopes that she would not be recognized. There was one eyewitness who is working with police to provide an accurate description of the man who was holding Alisa against her will.

The police have put out a description of both the suspect and his vehicle in hopes that someone will be able to deliver more information on the man. The car reportedly has a very loud muffler, and is possibly a Ford Escort; it was described as dark brown, medium sized, and has four doors.

The suspect is reportedly in his late teens to early twenties, with dark hair. The witness that provided this description did not get a great look at the individual, so anyone that has any information regarding this man should definitely come forward, even if the information they have does not exactly match the description.
