According to the Frankfort Police Department, Breanna Woodside, 2, is described as being 3 feet tall, weighing 35 pounds with blonde hair and hazel eyes. She was last seen wearing purple sweatpants, a purple and pink striped shirt, a black jacket with a pink lining and blue shoes.

[animallady]

The father sounds like a walking, ticking time-bomb. I pray that they Breanna is found safe and soon.

[texanne]

One good thing...the vehicle should be easy to spot. Most cars look so much alike, but that one is larger and not just the run of the mill new car. The "suicidal" thing is very worrisome. I pray they locate this child.

[Faith]

I pray Breanna will be found safe.

[TigressPen]

I am getting concerned because no new updates are listed. And the report that stated LE said no calls on the vehicle being spotted is scary. I wonder if he has changed vehicles.

Praying Breanna is safe and her dad has not harmed her or himself.

[animallady]

I was hoping for good news or at least an update. I'm very concerned that there haven't been any sightings of the vehicle after this much time has passed.

Thank God they updated the photo-

Authorities are still looking for 30-year-old Frankfort resident Miles Woodside and his 2-year-old daughter Breanna. Woodside failed to return the girl to her mother, Athena Fritz, during a scheduled custodial exchange Friday afternoon. An Amber Alert was issued for the two Saturday morning.


Investigators Investigators now believe Woodside is somewhere near Ft. Payne, Alabama. They say they have a reliable source who was reportedly in contact with Woodside in the state on Friday afternoon. That source told investigators that the toddler was healthy and safe.


On
Sunday evening, Woodside's uncle issued a plea for him to surrender and return his daughter to authorities.


"We urge you and beg you to do the right thing," said Jim Goodman during a press conference in Frankfort.



Goodman told reporters that Woodside loves his daughter very much and "worships the ground she walks on." He said he believes Woodside will "come to his senses and do the right thing."


Goodman said he saw Woodside with his daughter about two weeks ago and had no reason to believe something like this would happen.



Woodside's parents live in Alabama and relatives here say they're not surprised he headed that direction.


If you see Woodside, authorities urge you to contact local law enforcement immediately. They say he is reportedly depressed and in possession of a firearm.

[animallady]

I'm praying that this precious little girl will soon be safely in the arms of a trustworthy adult. Maybe the pleas of his family will not fall on deaf ears.

[texanne]

I hope they have searched vehicle data bases to see if he purchased another vehicle. I wonder if there is a national data base for that? Prob not.

Alabama authorities searching for Amber Alert suspect

Posted: Mar 02, 2009 6:51 AM CST
Updated: Mar 02, 2009 6:51 AM CST


FORT PAYNE, AL (WAVE) - Police confirm that the man wanted in connection with an Amber Alert issued for a 2-year-old girl from Frankfort, Ky. has been spotted in northern Alabama.

We've been working closely with our sister station, WAFF in Alabama, to bring you the most up-to-date information.

Fort Payne, Ala. Police Commissioner Ron Ogletree confirms the suspect, 30-year-old Miles Woodside, not only has family in the area, but met a childhood friend at a McDonald's Friday afternoon.

Ogletree says 2-year-old Breanna Woodside was also there, and appeared to be calm, clean and unharmed during that meeting.

Ogletree says that friend is cooperating with authorities. "The school friend has been cooperating with Frankfort authorities, and they state that he - the school friend - did attempt to talk Mr. Woodside into returning to Frankfort with the child."

The Amber Alert was issued when Woodside failed to return Breanna after a scheduled custody visit Friday afternoon.

Police say Woodside is armed and dangerous, and they are worried for Breanna's safety because they believe Woodside could be suicidal.

The Lexingon Herald-Leader quoted police saying 30-year-old Miles Woodside is armed and could be suicidal.

An Amber alert was issued Sunday night when Woodside did not return his 2-year-old daughter Breanna after picking her up that morning at the Frankfort police station.

Police were following up on tips that Woodside's 1997 silver Lincoln Town Car might have been spotted in Alabama, where he has relatives.

Breanna is blond, has hazel eyes and was last seen wearing purple sweatpants and a pink striped shirt under a black jacket.

No matter how much he loves his daughter, in a suicidal state, he could harm her. IMO I pray he takes Breanna to a relative and that she is safe.

Search for missing Kentucky toddler continues in Alabama

WHAS11) – The search for a missing Kentucky girl has gone national.


Police think two-year-old Breanna Woodside and her father could be in Alabama, where he has family.

Miles Woodside’s family issued a tearful plea this afternoon and we’re learning more about why police say his daughter is in danger.

Over the weekend, WHAS11 learned Miles Woodside, who goes by the name Tom, failed to bring his daughter back after taking her for visitation Friday morning.

Since then, WHAS11 has learned Tom turned up with the girl in Alabama.

We also checked into Woodside’s past and it offers a glimpse at why police are so worried right now.

The Frankfort Police Department was the last place anyone in Kentucky saw Tom and Breanna Woodside together.

Tom met the girl’s mother there Friday morning to pick her up for a court allowed visitation.


The two had to begin meeting at the police department back in January, after Tom Woodside was arrested for menacing and terroristic threatening.

That incident, described in a handwritten complaint, says Tom threatened to assault the girl’s mother.

A separate court filing in which Breanna’s mother, Athena Fritz, sought sole custody of her daughter indicated concerns about Woodside’s loss of residence, drug addiction and mental health.

In a psychiatric evaluation filed with the court, it refers to Woodside having a long history of mental health problems including suicidal tendencies, hallucinations and a seven year addiction to methamphetamine.

That same report indicated Woodside has been drug free for more than 7 years and was most concerned about spending time with his daughter.


“We hope that the individual does realize that everybody in this situation is seeking the safety of the child first,” says Major Fred Deaton of Frankfort police.

Woodside was spotted with Breanna in Ft. Payne Alabama Friday night, leading authorities there to issue an Amber Alert Monday.

Woodside’s mother and sister spoke at a press conference asking Woodside to return peacefully.

“Just come home Tom, come home,” plead his mother, Mary Love.

They also say that despite his past history, they don’t believe Woodside would do anything to harm Breanna.

“Him and the baby’s mother just don’t get along at all. He really thinks he’s just keeping her safe, he does,” says Love.

One thing working in police’s favor is that Woodside is not believed to have any money.

He reportedly had to borrow $40 from a friend to stay in a motel room Friday night.

One thing officers are worried about is that he is believed to have his grandfather’s gun, which he allegedly took the same day he borrowed his car and drove off to Alabama.

Still have the Amber Alert for Brianna on TV. I just pray he doesn't feel like he has nothing to live for, and takes her with him.

Police: Amber Alert Car Located In Tenn.
WLEX-TV
updated 12 minutes ago

Police in Tennessee say they have located the car used by a father who did not return his two-year daughter after a court-ordered visit in Frankfort last week.

A state-wide Amber Alert continues for 2-year old Breanna Woodside, who has been missing since Friday afternoon. Police say her father, Miles Woodside, 30, was visiting her on Friday and was supposed to return her to her mother in the afternoon. He never showed. Police say he stole his grandfather's car and a Smith and Wesson gun.

According to the website of WRCB-TV in Chattanoonga, Tennesee, the car Woodside was driving was found in the parking lot of an America's Best Value Inn hotel on Tuesday morning. Police say the vehicle was cold, so had likely been parked there for an extensive time. The hotel's manager says he does not have any record of Woodside checking in to the hotel, however, and the hotel does not have surveillence cameras in the portion of the parking lot the car was located in.

Former classmate Bobby Clement says he met with Woodside Friday night at a McDonald's in Fort Payne, Alabama, which is located in the northeast part of the state about 70 miles from Huntsville. Clement said they talked about what Woodside was doing.

"After about an hour I was just shooting the bull with him he asked me what he should do," said Clement. "I said 'what are you doing"' and he talked about taking her away. I told (him) it wasn't the right thing to do if anything it's just adding fire to the core.

Police are looking into tips from people who say they saw Woodside in the Huntsville, Alabama area.

Breanna Woodside is 3 feet tall and weighs 35 pounds. She has straight blond hair passed her shoulders. She was last seen wearing purple sweatpants, a purple and pink striped shirt, black jacket with pink lining and blue shoes.

Woodside is 6'1', 190 pounds with a shaved head, blue eyes and has a tattoo with symbols between his upper shoulders.

Anyone with information is asked to call 911 immediately. You can also call the Frankfort Police Dept at 502-875-8582 or visit http://www.kentuckyamberalert.com.

Car found in Amber Alert involving missing girl

Police say the car in an Amber Alert involving 2-year-old Breanna Woodside of Frankfort has been found in Chattanooga, Tenn.

The car was found at America's Best Value Inn and Suites off the Browns Ferry Road exit, according to news reports in Chattanooga.

Police have verified today that the car found is the 1997 silver Lincoln Town Car, stolen from Woodside's grandfather, Eugene Woodside, of Frankfort.

The vehicle was cold and had been parked at the hotel for a while, police said.

The hotel's manager, Jay Patel, said everyone who checked in to the hotel is accounted for and doesn't think Miles Thomas Woodside, 30, and his daughter ever checked in the hotel.

Patel told news reporters he had not seen Thomas Woodside or his daughter.

Police are still searching for the missing Frankfort toddler and her father, who has been charged with custodial interference and theft of a motor vehicle.
Breanna Woodside, 2, was last seen on Friday and her father was spotted several times over the weekend in Fort Payne, Ala., and possibly in Huntsville, according to Alabama newspapers and TV stations.

Monday morning, Thomas Woodside's mother, Mary Love, made an emotional plea in Fort Payne, Ala., for her son to surrender and bring her granddaughter to safety.

Love spoke alongside Fort Payne Police and other authorities. In tears, Love asked for her son to come home.

Love said she had not seen either her son or granddaughter during the ordeal.

Woodside had dinner with his daughter at McDonald's in Fort Payne on Friday night, according to news reports. Bobby Clements, a friend of Woodside, joined them. Clements and Woodside graduated from Fort Payne High School together in 1998.

Clements also was at the news conference Monday and said he gave his friend $40 to stay at the Econo Lodge in Fort Payne.

Clements said Woodside was upset, and said he was tired of working through the Kentucky court system to see his daughter.

Police said Woodside stayed at the Econo Lodge that night, but no one reported seeing the girl. Hotel workers say they didn't find any evidence of the girl being in the room.

Thomas Woodside was last seen driving a 1997 silver Lincoln Town Car with a Kentucky license plate 064BAA.

Woodside picked up his daughter early Friday morning at the police station in Frankfort. He was supposed to return her that same day, but did not.

The state of Alabama has issued an Amber Alert in the case as well as Kentucky.

Frankfort Police Maj. Fred Deaton said today, "We're still diligently pursuing all avenues of investigation. We had some information over the weekend that directed us to the state of Alabama.

"We contacted authorities there and it's been pursued. We're still pursuing every aspect."

Anyone with information should call 911 or the Frankfort Police Department at 875-8582.

Police found a Lincoln Town Car in the parking lot of an America's Best Value Inn. Police in Tennessee searched the hotel but did not find Woodside or his 2-year-old daughter, Breanna, Frankfort police said at a press conference.

Investigators said Woodside took the Town Car and a handgun from his grandfather in Frankfort. Police said Woodside is armed and potentially suicidal.

Tennessee authorities issued an Amber Alert for the girl on Tuesday, a day after Alabama authorities did the same.

FBI agents in Frankfort are seeking warrants for Woodside's arrest on charges of unlawful flight from prosecution, Frankfort police said.

Woodside and Breanna were last seen together on Friday at a McDonald's in Fort Payne, Ala. Woodside was seen checking into a motel that night, but the girl was not spotted, Fort Payne police said.

Breanna, who has blonde hair and hazel eyes, was last seen wearing purple sweatpants with a purple and pink striped shirt, a black jacket with pink lining and blue shoes.

FRANKFORT, Ky. -- The three-state search for a missing 2-year-old Kentucky girl took a new turn this afternoon when police said the girl's father called relatives today and indicated the pair were OK. Miles Woodside, 30, did not return his daughter to her mother Friday after a noncustodial visit. An Amber Alert was issued for Breanna Woodside in Kentucky, followed by alerts in Alabama and Tennessee.
Police said Woodside called his mother this morning.
"The conversation lasted about two minutes. He said he was fine and she was fine. He sounded very happy. His mother asked him to come home and he hung up on her," said DeKalb County, Ala., Chief Deputy Mike Edmondson.
Birmingham area police departments and sheriff's offices on Monday were notified to be on the lookout for the two, after the girl was seen on surveillance tapes at a McDonald's restaurant in Fort Payne.
A police spokeswoman in Chattanooga, Tenn., Jerri Weary, said officers discovered the car Woodside was driving at a motel there this morning, but did not find Woodside or his daughter.
Weary said Chattanooga investigators questioned a taxi driver who picked up Woodside and the girl and drove them to a bus station Saturday. She did not know whether the pair got on a bus. Police in Kentucky have said Woodside is armed and possibly dangerous due to "suicidal tendencies."
Breanna is blond, has hazel eyes and was last seen wearing purple sweat pants and a pink striped shirt under a black jacket.

Amber Alert ends: Father and daughter found

Posted: March 3, 2009 06:05 PM

Updated: March 3, 2009 06:15 PM

FORT PAYNE, AL (WAFF) - A Kentucky toddler was found with her father in Mexico late Tuesday afternoon, four days after the two disappeared after being spotted in Ft. Payne.

Police confirmed to WSFA 12 News' sister station in Huntsville that Tom Woodside, 30, and his 2-year-old daughter Breanna were found in Monterrey, Mexico. Authorities are transporting the two to Laredo, Texas.

Three states had issued Amber Alerts for Breanna Woodside, 2, and her father Thomas Woodside, 30, after Tom Woodside's car was found in Chattanooga, TN Tuesday morning.

Tennessee officials canceled their alert late Tuesday afternoon, saying they had received information indicating that the two had left the state.

Amber Alerts in both Kentucky and Alabama remained in effect.

The most recent pictures of Breanna and Tom Woodside came from security video from their stop at a McDonald's restaurant Friday in fort Payne.

As seen from the video, Tom Woodside comes in from the north entrance of McDonald's, holding Breanna tightly in his arms. He walks to the front of the store then moves to the back, almost looking directly into the camera.

In the video, Woodside looks very similar to the picture that's been broadcasted with the Amber Alerts, but Breanna has darker hair. Ft. Payne police said it's unclear what clothing they're wearing, but the child appeared to be healthy and in good condition.

The stolen vehicle police believe Tom Woodside was driving was found in a motel parking lot in Chattanooga. Breanna's car seat was removed from the car but the keys were left inside.

Investigators said they believed a cab driver took the two to a bus station in Chattanooga and they boarded a bus for Colorado.

"He was transported by a cab on Saturday from where the car was abandoned to a bus station in Chattanooga and made the statement that he was going to Colorado," said Ft. Payne Police Commissioner Ron Ogletree. "The investigation is ongoing."

Ft. Payne police also said Tom Woodside called his mother in Ft. Payne Tuesday morning. She told police Woodside didn't say where they are, but said Breanna was safe.

Thank God Breanna is safe!

I wonder if the father thought if he could get to Mexico they would not force him to bring her back?

I am so thankful they both are safe.

Thank God she is found, safe and unharmed.
