Amber Alert credited with freeing abducted 5 year old girl
Officials say a regional Amber Alert network aided by public tips led Maple Heights police to rescue 5 year old Imari Brooks from Euclid. Lt Gene Kulp credited credible tips and rapid alert dissemination as pivotal in solving the case within hours. Authorities note 88 county sheriffs can issue alerts and discussions urge statewide expansion. Amber Alerts, named for Amber Hagerman, use broadcast and electronic road signs to locate missing children and captors.
