Arizona girl in Amber Alert found in New Mexico

Authorities say a 12-year-old southeastern Arizona girl who was the subject of a now-canceled Amber Alert has been found in rural southwestern New Mexico while walking with a 34-year-old man who also had been reported missing.

Graham County Undersheriff Jeff McCormies says a Grant County sheriff’s sergeant picked up Savinya Kimball and Lawrence James Halamek after several motorists Tuesday morning reported seeing them walking along State Route 78 several miles into New Mexico.

The two were last seen Monday morning.

McCormies says Arizona authorities are sending their New Mexico counterparts a warrant charging Halamek with custodial interference.

McCormies said previously that it appeared from communications between the girl and Halamek that she trusted him and reached out to him before she didn’t go to school Monday . They’re not related.
