Fort Collins police say a parental kidnapping Thursday night prompted an Amber Alert that was issued for a 5-year-old girl who has since been found safe.
Investigators were trying to serve 30-year-old Lauren Perotti with an order to relinquish custody of her daughter, Annalee Keller, when she “recklessly” fled in a vehicle, authorities say.
Officers were able to confirm that Keller was in the vehicle with her mother, police say, and the Amber Alert was issued.
