IREDELL CO., N.C. — Iredell County Police say the Amber Alert for 4-year-old Easton Redmon and 2-year-old Annsleigh Redmon has been canceled after they were found safe in Georgia.
Detectives say their abductor and mother, Amanda Redmon, is under arrest for taking the children, as she had court orders verifying she could not be left alone with the children.
Police say 26-year-old Amanda Redman is currently being held in custody in the state of Georgia awaiting trial.
Detectives say on Wednesday, March 10th they received a phone call in reference to a family matter where Amanda Redmon, who was not supposed to be alone with her children unsupervised, decided to drive them by herself to a beach in Georgia.
Investigators say the children’s grandmother told them Amanda Redmon got up Tuesday morning to take the children to get breakfast, but never came back.
After putting out an Amber Alert and getting help from numerous federal and state agencies, the children and their abductor were found safe at a location in College Park, Georgia, according to a news release.
Sheriff Campbell says, “I am very thankful the children were located safe, and are now back safe with family members. A lot of hard work went into locating them and the suspect. I want to personally thank the United States Marshal’s Service, Georgia Bureau of Investigation, College Park Georgia Police Department, and the many other law enforcement agencies who assisted us in this investigation.”
