DELPHI, Ind. (WTHR) - There are a lot of questions about why no AMBER Alert was issued for a pair of missing Carroll County girls Monday.
Late Monday night, the Carroll County Sheriff's Office says they tried to request an alert for 13-year-olds Abby Williams and Libby German, who were last seen around 1 p.m. on a hiking trail near Delphi. Their request was turned down by Indiana State Police.
There are several criteria for state police to issue an AMBER Alert. While both girls were under 18 and police had enough descriptive information to help find them, there was no belief at the time the girls were abducted and in serious danger.
