UPDATE: ALEA says Harlow Darby Freeman has been found safe following her apparent kidnapping Monday night.
Police say an SUV that was reported stolen with an infant inside may have instead rolled into thick brush where it lay hidden. Parrish police Chief Danny Woodard tells Al.com officers found the SUV in vines Tuesday morning. They found the vehicle roughly 100 yards from where it was reported stolen about 12 hours earlier.
The 9-month-old girl was safe in her car seat. Investigators now say it’s likely the car was not stolen and the baby was not kidnapped. Instead, the SUV may have rolled down an embankment when the driver failed to put it in park.
