Delaware girl reported missing in NCCo now being treated as MD homicide; abduction no longer believed
A 3-year-old girl who was the subject of an Amber Alert issued the night of June 10 is still missing, though police no longer believe she was abducted, as her mother initially claimed. The alert for the child has been canceled, police said. In a brief news conference held on June 11, New Castle County Police said this was not an abduction and this is being treated as a homicide investigation by Maryland State Police. The FBI is also investigating. County police issued an Amber Alert shortly after 10 p.m. on June 10, which said the girl's mother contacted police to say her daughter had been abducted at gunpoint by an unknown white man. The mom claimed it happened in the 500 block of Gender Road, a mostly wooded area in Ogletown, about 7:15 p.m. She said she was driving and Dinkins was upset, so she stopped the car to calm the girl down. The mom told police that's when her daughter was taken. She also claimed that an "unknown white female" was driving a car that the man was in. As police and the FBI investigated the abduction, Sgt. Andrea Botterbusch said detectives determined the mother's account was false. 'The Amber alert is now canceled and there's no danger to the public,' Botterbusch said. 'Sadly, this incident is now being treated as a homicide investigation.' A day later, one of the few residents who lives near the road said she didn't hear anything until police knocked on her door about 9 p.m. on June 10. About 12 hours later, on June 11, two unmarked police SUVs were parked along Gender Road. By 10 a.m., one of the SUVs had left. The area where police were told the abduction occurred is mostly wooded, with almost no shoulder to safely park a car. There are a few long streets leading to a development and corporate compound tucked away off the road. An Amber Alert is issued when a child has been abducted and is at risk of serious injury or death. Law enforcement agencies send descriptions of the missing children, their abductors or other information to broadcasters. The alerts also show up on electronic highway signs. Drivers can expect to see this notification on highway signs across the state. While AMBER is really short for America's Missing: Broadcast Emergency Response, it was created as a legacy to 9-year-old Amber Hagerman, who was abducted and killed in Texas in 1996. The slaying remains unsolved. This is a developing story. Return to for updates.

Man federally indicted after allegedly shooting police K9
WACO, Texas (FOX 44) – A federal grand jury has returned an indictment charging a Waco man with one count of possession of an unregistered firearm. According to court documents, Darrin King allegedly fled from Waco Police officers on May 28, who were dispatched to a civil disturbance involving a firearm. A police K9 was deployed in pursuit of King, who allegedly produced a firearm and fired multiple shots at the dog, striking the K9 twice in the neck and once in the chest. The Department of Justice says King was subsequently taken into custody and the firearm was recovered. The firearm was allegedly equipped with a machinegun conversion device (MCD), also known as a 'Glock switch,' allowing the firearm to fire as a fully automatic weapon. MCDs are defined as machineguns under the National Firearms Act, even when not installed. PREVIOUS STORY: Waco PD K-9 shot, recovering, man arrested The injured K9 survived his life-threatening injuries – but due to the extent of the injuries, will be medically retired. The DoJ says King faces up to ten years in prison if convicted. A federal district court judge will determine any sentence after considering the U.S. Sentencing Guidelines and other statutory factors. The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives and the Waco Police Department are investigating the case. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
