A six-week-old infant abducted from Lebanon was safely recovered Wednesday after law enforcement tracked the suspect vehicle and stopped it on U.S. 54.

According to the Missouri State Highway Patrol, the Lebanon Police Department contacted the patrol at 11:58 a.m. to request an AMBER Alert. Investigators with Lebanon police and the patrol used FLOCK technology to locate the vehicle.

Just 17 minutes after the AMBER Alert was requested — and before the alert was formally issued — a trooper stopped the vehicle on Highway 54 west of Fulton and recovered the infant unharmed.

The patrol said the child was found just over an hour after the abduction occurred.
