CALDWELL, Idaho, July 25, 2018 (Gephardt Daily) — The Idaho State Police Department has lifted an Amber Alert after a missing 11-year-old girl was found and her non-custodial parent was taken into custody.

Aila Nyelle Vesterby had last been seen on Tuesday in Caldwell, Idaho. She was reportedly taken by Kelly James Vesterby, 48, who was not her custodial parent.

Police believed the father had taken his daughter and headed either for Mountain Home, Idaho, or Minnesota. The two were found Wednesday night in Mountain Home, the Idaho State Police announced a couple hours after the Amber Alert was issued.

The elder Vesterby was arrested at the scene.
