The mother of a 5-month-old girl who went missing from Normandy, Missouri is now facing charges.
KSDK reports Elizabeth Hawthorne was charged with abuse or neglect of a child in connection with an Amber Alert issued this week.
Hawthorne reported her daughter missing on Thursday, three days after her van was stolen with the baby still inside. The Normandy Police Department then issued the Amber Alert.
After the alert, KSDK reports police discovered the baby was dropped off at a home earlier in the week. The child is now in protective custody.
Police are still looking for two persons of interest and the stolen van, a gray 2006 Chrysler Town and Country minivan with Missouri license plate PN4R7B.
