The Amber Alert issued for two children from western Iowa Tuesday evening was terminated a few hours later, after a vehicle matching the description and license plate issued during the Amber Alert was stopped north of Fremont, Neb. The Monona County (Iowa) Sheriff’s Office said 30-year old Cari Ann Eich, who was described as a “Noncustodial parent,” was arrested and her two boys, ages  4-years and one-month, are safe. 

Authorities said Eich was arrested without incident after a motorist who heard the Amber Alert saw the pickup the trio were in, and called police. Authorities had feared for the boys’ safety, because Eich was suspected of being under the influence of methamphetamine when she took off with her kids from her grandparents’ home. Iowa authorities said later, she did not appear to be under the influence of drugs when she was apprehended.

Family members say Eich was scheduled to check in to rehab at Women and Children’s Center in Sioux City at 2-p.m. Tuesday, but as the family was loading vehicles, Eich managed to leave with the children at around 12:45-p.m., before anyone had a chance to react. The Amber Alert was issued at around 6:30-p.m. It was cancelled just before 9-p.m., after Eich and the boys were located about an hour-earlier.

Officials said it appears Eich never had the rights to have her children in her custody.
