CANTON, Ohio — A 5-year-old girl who was the subject of an AMBER Alert out of northeast Ohio has been found safe in Illinois. 

Ana Grace Burke was last seen at 6:15 p.m. Thursday at a Goodwill Store in Canton, Ohio. Police said she was with 36-year-old Jonathan Stinnett, who was driving a 1991 silver Ford Aerostar van with Michigan registration EHL7187.

Friday night, the FBI said they had received a report that the vehicle had been spotted in Indiana. Earlier Friday, surveillance photos appeared to show both Stinnett and his car at a gas station in Knox County, Ohio, which is northeast of Columbus.

Shortly after 10 p.m. Friday, the AMBER Alert was canceled and authorities reported Burke had been found safe in Bloomington, Illinois.
