Missing Knoxville toddler at center of AMBER Alert found safe
KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (WVLT) – The Knoxville Police Department announced Sunday night that officers had found the toddler at the center of an AMBER Alert.
KPD originally said the Ford Explorer was stolen Sunday evening from a home on Old State Road. After some more investigating, it looks like a mistake could have prompted the alert.
According to KPD, a 2-year-old toddler, identified as Elton Bailey, was inside the car.
Bailey’s grandfather briefly stopped at the home and left the car running with him inside. When the grandfather came back out, the car was gone and he assumed someone stole it.
Bailey was found in the car more than three hours later. The car was found by Knox County deputies in a muddy construction site near where the car was reported stolen.
“The Special Crimes Unit is continuing their investigation to determine if somebody did briefly attempt to steal the vehicle or if it was potentially left in gear and rolled down several ravines into the construction area where it was found,” officials said.
Multiple agencies helped with the ground search and KPD thanked the public for their help.
