Don't quote me on this, Dee, but I believe they were found last night. We'd been getting Amber Alerts for a few hours and then the lead news story was about the car being found. If I'm talking about the same one, the mother was found shot to death in the car and the baby was in the backseat unharmed.

I note that the first word in the body of the notice at the bottom is the word 'cancelled'. I'm confused!

Ophiliasgrandma, By the time you saw the alert they had located the child...what was not said was if the child was found dead or alive. I hate this stuff.

I don't know why the Amber Alert is not lit up yet. Amber Alert info An Amber Alert has been issued in Missouri for week-old Abigale Lynn Woods, who was abducted from her rural Missouri home after her mother was attacked. Police are looking for a white woman between 30 and 40 years old. The suspect is about 5-feet-8 and weighs 200 pounds. She wore her dark hair under a baseball cap with a worn bill. She was wearing a gray or brown T-shirt and blue jean shorts. She was armed with a handgun and fillet knife. Woods weighs almost 6 pounds, has black hair, blue eyes and was wearing a pink dress with a flowered collar when she was taken. Abby has a birthmark between her eyes. She last seen Friday in Lonedell, Missouri, about 45 miles south of St. Louis. Anyone with information on Woods' whereabouts should contact authorities at (888) 265-8639. link

NBC: Abducted baby, suspected abductor found Abigale Woods discovered, taken to Missouri hospital Several family members told NBC News' Michele Hofland that the baby Abigale Lynn Woods and her suspected abductor have been found. Abigale has been taken to an area hospital, but there is no word on her condition. Franklin County Sheriff Gary Toelke confirmed to Hofland that the baby had been found. The child's mother, 21-year-old Stephenie Ochsenbine, told police Friday a woman entered her rural home, attacked her with a knife, and stole Abigale, who was a week old at the time. Since then, more than 500 leads have been reported in an investigation drawing international attention. Authorities intensified the search Tuesday around the family's home near the town of Lonedell, blocking off highways and roads leading to the residence. A helicopter circled above the home, sometimes as low as 50 feet from the ground. Search dogs were brought in. Divers from the Missouri State Water Patrol searched or planned to search two small ponds. Robert Bardot, who owns property near Ochsenbine's home, said FBI agents contacted him and asked to search houses on nearby properties he owns. He said agents searched the same properties Sunday, and he wasn't sure why they were returning. Toelke was hopeful a composite drawing Ochsenbine helped develop, as well as a picture of a black scarf that was recovered near the home Saturday, would generate new clues. The drawing shows a woman with dark hair wearing a baseball cap. Toelke said she is believed to be between 5-foot-4 and 5-foot-8 and is heavy, perhaps about 200 pounds. It is not known whether the suspect apprehended Tuesday matched the drawing. Ochsenbine told police she did not know the woman who came to her door and entered the house after asking to use the telephone. Ochsenbine's throat was slashed before the baby was taken. Authorities said that after lying unconscious, Ochsenbine gathered up her 1-year-old son, Connor, who was unharmed, and went to a neighbor's home to seek help. Fliers showing the baby were posted in gas stations and restaurants throughout Franklin County. The 6-pound girl, born Sept. 8, has dark brown hair, dark eyes and a strawberry birthmark on her forehead. The abductor has been profiled as someone who had a child die recently or as someone who could not have children, told people she was pregnant and needed to steal a child so her lie would not be found out. This breaking story will be updated. The Associated Press contributed to this report.

I've been praying so hard for this little baby and her family. And my prayers have been answered. I have a reddish port stain on my forehead, similar to Baby Abigale...and I know how to cover such a mark with "the right" makeup. I was just praying that this kidnapper didn't know how to disguise the mark. She probably used just regular make up. Enough about the make up...it was so nice to see this family back together.

They are still looking. The parents are illegals from Brazil. It looks like they didn't pay the people who helped smuggle them into the States, and in retrubution the baby has been kidnapped.

Well they are now saying that this woman approached other women in the area. She also asked them for directions and wanted them to take her there. So, this story just gets thicker. I don't know what's going on, but I am HOPING this baby is found safe and sound.

Found alive. Such wonderful news! I hope both boys are ok and that Shawn Hornbeck is able to recover after this 4 year nightmare. Kudos to Ben Ownby's schoolmate with the tip, and the Kirkwood PD for being on the ball.

A great ending, but the untold story must be too awful for words. It usually is.
