An Amber Alert for a 14-month-old San Antonio girl was canceled Saturday morning after she was located in Dallas, police say.
The Dallas Police Department said the child was found on the 3500 block of Telephone Road in good condition. She was transported to Children's Medical Center in Dallas for a standard health exam and will likely be returned to her mother in San Antonio.
A spokesman for the Bexar County Sheriff's Department said the man who abducted the girl is her father, 50-year old Fortino Cornejo.
Dallas police said they observed Cornejo handing off the girl and fleeing into a wooded area. As of Saturday evening, Cornejo remains at large and Dallas police are no longer actively searching for him.
Cornejo was traced to two neighborhoods in Oak Cliff overnight, the 2800 block of Salerno Drive and the 4700 block of Keeneland Parkway. Neighbors on Salerno Drive told NBC 5 officers approached several homes asking if anyone had seen Cornejo.
On Friday, the Bexar County Sheriff's Office issued a warrant for Cornejo on the charge of sexual exploitation of a child. They believe Cornejo sent a photo of the girl that indicated she had been sexually assaulted.
An order was also issued Friday in which Cornejo lost custody of his daughter.
Cornejo has black hair and hazel eyes. He is 5 feet 3 inches tall and 140 pounds.
He was believed to be driving a black Dodge Nitro with license plate HDD0725.
