alert never issued? dan deroos tells us what is needed to issue one. >> we asked that question and saw it on social media as breaking news. everybody was searching and asking why hasn't an amber alert been put out. the police department has to clarify their answer on this one. it is mainly because this started out adds a little girl who ran out of the house. that makes it look more like maybe not so much a run away but a child missing. >> here is what an amber alert needs, criteria, reasonable belief by law enforcement that an abduction has occurred and you heard there was speculation she may have gone off. that may have been the problem from. believe the child is in imminent danger or serious bodily death or description and information about the child themselves but how did it take place? where did it take place. >> a child 17 years or younger fitting the criteria, the child's name and other critical data has to be entered into the national crime information center first national database that can get it all out. >> the reason, i looked on the amber alert, amber alert.gov and use it in missing children's cases and worry the public is desensitized and constantly getting amber alerts every time a child runs away or missing in their neighborhood they think they will not take the amber alert serious. gray area on this case, though. mark? >> mark: thank you. a man accused of

breaking news as cavs gm david griffin is talking about the trade of anderson varejao. >> there are many layers to what we did. >> tom with the associated press. would the looming spike coming in the salary cap, what affect did it have on teams being cautious or maybe not doing what they hoped to do. >> i think it had some role and a bigger role so many teams are playing for today. there's so many teams in the middle now and so many teams trying to be playoff teams and as well they should. this is wide open in many circumstances and because of that, there were fewer sellers which made it difficult for buyers. so that, i think limited movement. but certainly, the cap changes will make players under contract more valuable. in some cases people had big expiring contracts weren't getting the value they hoped to get and the guy was most likely to walk. >> all right. if you haven't heard anderson varejao traded today to portland. >> mark: hopefully, it will be a spark and we will get out of the east. we told you yesterday ike azided not to build in brooklyn but evaluating other locations in our location. we are reaching out to other areas and avon's mayor intrigued and elyria has

three months ago hoping to land the swedish furniture store in midway mall and the city is completing a $22 million renovation and wants to attract shoppers and ikea would be a big boost to the economy. >> no doubt in my mind they would patronize it, it could be a huge uplifting move for that whole midway area. >> this mall definitely needs a lot. dillards and the stores are closed and take the stores out. >> it is not like what it used to be when we were kids. >> it would be a boost. we need to draw more things in like that. >> anchor stores bring more business with them. >> it is what many are hoping. >> mayor brendas she will not celebrate the laws but could be >> many can't meet the expectations but we are excited about that. >> reporter: no word when elyria will hear back from
