Delaware Girl Taken By Father Found In Mass. After Amber Alert
NEW CASTLE, Del. (AP/CBS) — Delaware police have canceled an Amber Alert for a 3-year-old New Castle County girl after authorities located her and her father in Massachusetts.
County police say Elinora Trotta and 43-year-old Michael Trotta were located with the help of the FBI and Massachusetts authorities.
Trotta was taken into custody in Spencer, Mass. without incident.
