Original story:
Alabama authorities are searching for a baby girl who was in the back seat of an SUV when it was stolen in Walker County.
Family said that 9-month-old Harlow Darby Freeman’s father was driving the white, 2009 Lexus RX350 Monday evening when he stopped at a friend’s house in Parrish and ran inside. When he came back out, the vehicle was gone, with the little girl inside, AL.com reported.
The Alabama Law Enforcement Agency issued an Amber Alert and said the little girl was in extreme danger.
The Lexus has an Alabama license tag number 3880AR8 and has damage on the rear passenger side that appears to be taped with clear tape.
Harlow has brown hair and blue eyes and was last seen wearing a tie-dye onesie and pink shorts.
The family is offering a $5,000 reward for the girl’s safe return. Bethany Smith, little Harlow’s mother, posted a plea on Facebook for the girl’s safe return. “All I ask is for my back back,” she wrote. “Y’all can keep the car!!!!!”
Anyone with information call the Parrish Police Department 205-686-9991 or 911.
