The girl was allegedly abducted and killed by a FedEx driver last year, but authorities said her disappearance didn’t meet criteria for an Amber Alert.
, told the Texas House Committee on Homeland Security & Public Safety that Wise County’s sheriff would have been able to issue a localized alert almost immediately had the Athena Alert been in place at the time.
“Unfortunately, their hands were tied because my daughter’s disappearance didn’t immediately meet the strict criteria for a statewide AMBER alert. It was a helpless feeling that I wouldn’t wish on any parent. My hope is that every state will follow Texas’ lead and amend the law so that no other parent has to wait when their child is missing.”
