Police in Delaware have canceled an AMBER Alert for a 3-year-old after her mother allegedly filed a false abduction report.

According to KKTV 11, Master Corporal Richard Chambers reported that the mother recounted an incident where a man in his 40s brandished a firearm at a woman and kidnapped her daughter, Nola Dinkins, at approximately 7:15 p.m. after she had parked in the 500 block of Gender Road in Ogletown.

The man walked up, took the child, and put her in the backseat of a car driven by a woman, according to what the mother told police, Chambers said.

The FBI, teaming up with other investigators, initiated a “thorough investigation that persisted throughout the night,” as stated by New Castle County Police Sgt. Andrea Botterbusch, Delaware Online reports.

FOX 5 reports police subsequently canceled the alert Wednesday and the case is now a homicide investigation.

 

 

“The Amber alert has been canceled and there’s no ongoing threat to the public,” Botterbusch conveyed. “Regrettably, this case is now being managed as a homicide investigation.”

Anyone with information about the case is urged to contact 911.

The story is developing. Check back for updates.
