On Tuesday, a woman was found dead in Hanford and her children were missing. The children were found safe within 24 hours, but the Amber Alert was sent out more than 13 hours after the discovery of the death.

A 4-year-old Rock Island girl who was the subject of an Amber Alert earlier this month was never abducted, and was safe at home the entire time, police said.

At a Thursday morning press conference, Rock Island Police Chief Tim McCloud said Blessing Aoci was in her home during the search.
