I got an AMBER Alert on my phone earlier, and this is why

Metcalfe County death investigation prompts Amber Alert
Kentucky State Police issued an Amber Alert for two children who are missing after two people were found dead Tuesday in rural Metcalfe County.

The children, 12-year-old Kyra Shockley and 15-year-old Christopher Endicott, may be traveling in a white 1997 Chevy Lumina with Kentucky license plate 843 GMM, police said. The car has paint peeling from the trunk and hood, one inoperable daytime running light and a missing trunk lock.

Kyra is white, weighs 110 pounds, stands 4-foot-8 and has blonde hair and hazel eyes, according to the police description. She wears black glasses adorned on the side with pink diamonds and her left eye is scarred.

Christopher is white, 5-foot-11 and weighs 250 pounds. He has a blonde buzz haircut and green eyes and was last seen wearing blue jeans, a T-shirt and a dark baseball cap.

Trooper Billy Gregory, a state police spokesman, said one of the children may be related to one of the people found dead, and they may be with a suspect in the death investigation.

Anyone with information on the children’s whereabouts is asked to call (800) 262-3717.
I don't normally copy an entire news story, but all of this information is pretty much listed in the alert itself, and the descriptions and phone number are important. Here's hoping they are found and the case is resolved soon.

PS The two were found. The fifteen-year-old has been arrested for the murder of a couple who were distant relatives and who had recently received custody of him. The twelve-year-old is back with her family.
