Ohio Amber Alert

[Peg]

I was at the club tonight and for the first time ever, an Amber Alert came on the television. It really freaked me out since I have never heard it on t.v. I checked the Amber Alert site and there is nothing there! I'm hoping they get it posted soon. Cincinatti area, 2 children, male and female, blonde hair, ages both between 5 and 7. Car has temporary tags. Not much to go on, but better than nothing.

Ah ha! I'm not nuts. Well, maybe I am, but I'm not crazy!

Amber alert cancelled -- kids are fine
Witnesses saw a father driving away with his own children

Loyal Wilson was surprised when his father telephoned him at his Fort Mitchell, Ky., home Saturday morning to ask why his son’s face was all over the news.

“He showed up here at the police station,” Fort Mitchell Police Specialist Andy Hyett said Saturday morning after Wilson’s picture was broadcast across the region -- and then nationally on CNN.

Post Office workers at Cincinnati’s Dalton Street facility called police Friday night after seeing a man place two small children in the trunk of his car and drive away.

Police seized a videotape from the post office that showed a clip of Wilson. They issued an amber alert at about 9 p.m. Friday and released the clip to local television stations.

Wilson’s father called him Saturday morning to ask what was going on, Hyett said.

Wilson then went to the police department to ask why they were looking for him.

When told about the amber alert, Wilson showed police his car.
Its back seat had what Hyett called “a pass-through” to the trunk so long items like skis can be stored in the car.

The children, Hyett was told, enjoyed getting in the trunk and squeezing through the gap to the back seat.

“They were just playing,” Hyett said, said of the boy and girl.

Wilson was emotional when he showed up at the police station but didn’t seem scared.

“I think he was more nervous that there was going to be a SWAT team coming down on him or something,” Hyett said.

Cincinnati Police Sgt. Ken Wells encouraged people to be vigilant when they see what they suspect are crimes.

“Certainly, what the people saw, they saw and they interpreted it (as an abduction),” Wells said. “I think people have to look at each incident and report it the way they see it.”
