When a woman claimed that her car had been stolen with a child still sitting in the back seat, the authorities searched for the youngster and stolen car before allegedly learning that the reported kidnapping was false.
Last Saturday, just after 9:00 pm, the Knoxville Police Department was alerted by a woman claiming that her vehicle had been stolen from the parking lot of the Cracker Barrel Old Country Store and Restaurant. The caller also reportedly stated that a 10-year-old girl was sitting in the back seat when the car was taken.
The Oak Ridge Police Department, Airwatch, and Criminal Investigations Division investigators joined the Knoxville police in their frenzied attempt to locate the stolen vehicle holding the allegedly missing child.
