The kidnapper was the child's mother, a drug addict, who no longer had custody and tried to spirit her daughter away.
Although the neighbors were able to give the police a description of the man and the truck, the kidnapper was never apprehended.
Information included in the emergency bulletin includes a description of the child and any known information about the kidnapper and the vehicle being used.
While Howie was joyous that the kidnapper might be apprehended, he remained shaken by having watched the abduction.
