A 37-year-old mother from Illinois, named Princes, has been arrested and charged with filing a false report to the police. It was discovered that her child was never actually missing, and she had intentionally hidden her daughter. The exact motive behind the mother’s false report remains unknown, but authorities speculate that she may have believed that the police would give more attention to her stolen car report if there was a missing child involved. After a warrant was issued for her arrest, she was apprehended in Wisconsin and is currently awaiting extradition back to Illinois.
Last month, a distressing incident unfolded when a mother dialed 911 to report the theft of her vehicle. She informed the dispatcher that she had left her car running on the driveway, and to her horror, it was stolen with her 4-year-old child inside. This alarming situation prompted an immediate investigation, leading the Illinois State Police to issue a statewide Amber Alert.
Officers located the stolen vehicle just hours after receiving the 911 call. But the child remained missing. During the investigation, officials discovered that the missing youngster’ was inside the room after examining camera footage from responding cops. During an interview with investigators, the mom reportedly instructed her children to address the child by a different name.
After the officers responded to the incident, the woman took her 4-year-old child to a nearby alley, where concerned individuals discovered them during a search. Following this, the mother left the residence with her 7 children. Subsequently, law enforcement issued an arrest warrant for her, and she subsequently traveled to Wisconsin. She was apprehended there and is currently awaiting extradition back to Illinois.
Authorities have released a statement indicating that the motive behind the mother’s actions is still unclear. However, there is suspicion that the woman may have believed that reporting a stolen car with a missing child inside would prompt investigators to take the matter more seriously. It is important to note that this incident is currently being investigated.
