Authorities have found a missing 4-year-old from Charleston, South Carolina, after she vanished from her home when an intruder forced his way in and beat her mother so badly she had to be taken to a hospital, police said Wednesday.
Charleston ABC affiliate WCIV reported the girl, Heidi Ranae Todd, was found safe outside Birmingham, Alabama, on Wednesday evening.
WCIV tweeted video of officials taking Todd to the Alabama Department of Human Resources before being reunited with her family.
The suspect, identified as Thomas Lawton Evans, was able to escape capture initially, but was later taken into custody at about 11 p.m., according to The Associated Press. The AP reported the girl was found by police in a car with Evans and he sped off after handing over Todd. He was arrested after a police chase in Mississippi, the AP said.
The child was reported missing about 5:50 p.m. Tuesday in the Johns Island area of Charleston after police were called to her family's house and found the mother had been assaulted, Charleston Police Chief Jerome Taylor said a news conference Wednesday.
