Grande, I live in Springfield, Ill. I never see Amber alerts for children missing from Northern Illinois. Is there someone you think we could contact about them being shown here?

I don't think they issued one in this case for some reason.

Here is the Official Illinois Amber Alert website for more information if necessary;

Thank you! The only time we hear anything about Northern Illinois, is if a woman disappeared, and her husband is a suspect or if its Politics.
