Remember that AMBER Alert on Memorial Day, where a Chagrin Falls father said his estranged wife had taken their three daughters to Pennsylvania? A committee set up to review such alerts in northeast Ohio has ruled the criteria wasn't met when police issued an alert.
The panel is made up of law enforcement, emergency communication workers and the media, and after meeting recently with Chagrin Falls Police Department officials determined the criteria wasn't met when Chagrin Falls PD asked for the alert to be issued. AMBER Alerts, in general, aren't recommended in most disputed custody cases, and it there are still many questions still remaining from this particular case.
The Chagrin Falls father who first filed the report with police told them his estranged wife didn't have custody, may have a weapon in the car and was heading out of state. Police contacted their counterparts in Pennsylvania, who reached the woman on her cell phone. She was enroute to her parent's home near Lancaster, PA and she agreed to meet with police. A gun was never found in the car, and it's questionable if there were custody issues between the couple.
The review board approved three alerts issued by Cleveland police, even calling their investigative work "commendable" in their findings after a review hearing earlier this month.
