A statewide police search ended successfully when a 4-month-old Jacksonville girl and her mother were found safe Saturday evening
The Sheriff s Office announced about 6 p.m. that Yisrael Joy Toler and her mother Evelyne Idella Franzua had been located.
However, police didn t say where mother and daughter were found, how they were located or the circumstances of their apparent disappearance, which led the Florida Department of Law Enforcement to issue a statewide Missing Child Alert for Yisrael before dawn Saturday.
FDLE had issued its alert about 3 a.m. roughly 90 minutes after the Sheriff s Office put out a news release announcing officers were searching for Yisrael and her mother to determine if they are safe.
The child and her mother were reported missing Saturday morning. Author: Matthew Copeland (WTLV), First Coast News Staff Published: 8:29 AM EST January 23, 2021 Updated: 6:10 PM EST January 23, 2021
