The teen at the center of an AMBER Alert was found safe on Thursday, about a day after the alert was issued.
MISSOURI CITY, Texas — Just about 24 hours after an AMBER Alert was issued for a teen out of Missouri City, the teen was found, according to Texas Department of Public Safety officials.
The teen was reportedly OK. Officials with the Missouri City Police Department said she walked into a Child Protection Services office in Rosenberg on Thursday.
Authorities said the girl’s biological mother, Megan LeCour, took her daughter amid a custody battle. LeCour, 31, had not been taken into custody at the time the AMBER Alert was canceled.
