Patricia Garcia and Maliyah (via Garland police)
== 7 a.m., by Matt Peterson ==
Two-year-old Maliyah Vergenz is safe with her family in Garland and her baby sitter is in jail on suspicion of kidnapping.
Authorities found the two at the Villager Inn motel on Highway 80 in Terrell. The little girl was unharmed.
Police say the suspect, Patricia Garcia, has been distraught since losing a baby of her own to miscarriage.
== 3:30 a.m. ==
More importantly, the alert?s been canceled. WFAA is reporting Terrell police found the girl in good condition at a motel. Apparently they tracked a car matching the description in the Amber Alert.
My question is which vehicle description: the ?Chrysler Aspire,? the ?1998 Chrysler Aspen,? or the Chrysler Cirrus?
== 3 a.m. ==
Lots of confusion over the vehicle. Police now say it?s a Chrysler Cirrus. Not an Aspen. Not an Aspire.
== 10:10 p.m. ==
Some more on the vehicle: It?s a beige Chrysler Aspen with severe front-end damage. An initial release misidentified it as an Aspire.
Maliyah was last seen wearing a pink shirt and blue shorts.
WFAA-TV just interviewed police, who told the station that Garcia recently lost her own child. ?Mental strain.?
== 9:50 p.m. ==
Police say Garcia was babysitting Maliyah in the 4900 block of Palo Alto Drive this afternoon when she took off with the child.
Spokesman Joe Harn said he didn?t know of any criminal or violent behavior in Garcia?s past, but ?she has recently been under some mental strain,? which prompted the Amber Alert.
Harn tells me police were in contact with Garcia after the abduction and believed she would bring the child back. Since then, she hasn?t been picking up her phone.
It?s not clear where Garcia lives, and police have no idea which direction she might have gone. They?ve already checked several locations across North Texas to no avail.
== 9:30 p.m.==
Garland police have issued an Amber Alert for an abducted toddler believed to be ?in grave or immediate danger.?
Police say Maliyah Vergenz, 2, was taken by Patricia Garcia (aka Patricia Beruman, Particia Chavez or Patricia Cruces), 38.
Garcia weighs 250 pounds, has brown curly hair, brown eyes and a ?chubby face,? according to the alert. She is believed to be driving a beige 1998 Chrysler Aspire Aspen with paper plates, and was last seen in Garland.
Call the Garland Police Department if you can help find this girl: 214-354-8692 or 972-485-4878
