OAKLAND, Calif. -- Police are trying to locate a 21-month-old girl who was abducted from a parked car in East Oakland earlier Wednesday, a police spokesperson said.

When he returned, the family member was still in the car but the girl was gone, Watson said.
 
Thanks mods for linking these two threads up, and updating the article. Sorry, forgot about the copyright rule.

Hope this little one is found safe and quickly!
 
This is so weird... Who is going to walk up to a car WITH AN ADULT INSIDE OF IT and take a child?




The man bought an energy drink and was in and out of the store quickly, according to a store clerk.

[snip]

Daphne is described as black, about two feet tall, and weighing about 30 pounds. She has short, black curly hair, a medium complexion, black hair and brown eyes, and is missing part of her left ear. She was last seen wearing an orange, two-piece pajama set with pink hearts and pink socks.

[snip]

Investigators spoke with Daphne's father at the scene of the abduction and have already interviewed the girl's mother and several other relatives.

Was seen ... by whom? I'd really like to confirm that there were other, unrelated witnesses and not just an account from the dad that he only caught a glimpse as she went around a corner and then was gone. Just to ease the pressure of my ever-worrying mind.

Police said the girl was taken by an unidentified black or Hispanic woman between 30 and 40 years old, who had long, straight black hair and was wearing a light-colored shirt and blue jeans. Witnesses said the woman walked away from the car with the child, and authorities did not identify a vehicle associated with the kidnapping.

From link in the first post...
 
"He's just an all-around great guy," Owens said of Webb, noting that for years, Webb had drawn lines of people to his front door as he gave away food, clothing, bicycles and more. "He knew everybody. He was just always trying to do good.

also from the first link about her father...
 
Just a little suspicious here... how impaired is this relative? Obviously he was too impaired to stop the 'abduction' - so too impaired to be questioned by police? Conveniently? I cant imagine anyone walking up to a car with ANY adult in it, and snatch a child.
 
Daphne looks so sad in the pic. And I wonder where was her mom when this happened.
 
Suspicious myself.
Just seems very strange, and the part about missing part of her ear :confused:

I hope I'm wrong, but even then she's still gone.
 
Isn't it kind of weird for there to be an Amber Alert without vehicle info? Seems like I've read this 'complaint' a half dozen times at least, about Amber Alerts not being issued and it's usually because there's no vehicle. Is this one an exception because people witnessed the suspect?

Also... I haven't seen how many witnesses but given that it's plural I assume there were multiple witnesses. They knew a child was being abducted but didn't do anything to stop it? Or were they just confused and didn't realize it was an abduction until later?

Whole story is kind of weird.
 
Was the disabled adult in the car a woman or man? How old? Was the car locked? We have a mentally disabled adult daughter and if someone tried to take a child out of our car, she would be screaming her head off and trying to stop them. She would also have the car locked if we weren't in it, although the window might be down some for air. But if it was a hot day, why would anyone be left in the car? Was the motor running and the AC turned on? I hope this baby makes it back safe.
 
I do NOT like how this is playing out........

I Have the same question about the adult in the car. I am very curious what her reaction was to this stranger wanting to take the child.
 
The below link has lots of details including:
- Witnesses said the disabled adult was an older/elderly female
- in relation to the above, it says that the dad lives with daphne and his mother (is she the one in the car?)
- The police are asking anyone who has seen either the dad OR daphne in the last THIRTY DAYS to contact them
- mom and other family members are described as being extremely cooperative
- dad is 49. He's not a suspect. Mother is in her 80s.
- witnesses said the suspect was Hispanic or light-skinned black with long hair and carried Daphne away.
