A 1-year-old girl, Zorriah Hatcher, was found safe after being abducted by her non-custodial mother and grandmother, Memphis Police Department confirmed. The toddler was reported missing from the 1900 block of Lapaloma Street in Memphis' Castalia Heights neighborhood before she was located by authorities.

The child was taken around 1:30 p.m. yesterday, and a city watch was quickly issued as concerns escalated over her whereabouts. FOX13 Memphis reported that Zorriah was last seen with her biological mother, Sabrina Hatcher, and the grandmother, Brenda Brown, who apparently took the child without legal authority to do so.

The circumstances leading to the unauthorized removal of the infant from the custody of her legal guardian remain unclear. However, after the Memphis PD's intensified search efforts, the toddler was found. Following her recovery, the city watch alert was canceled on Sunday evening. The details concerning the reunion of the child with her custodian or any potential legal repercussions for her mother and grandmother are not yet released.

The situation initially drew community attention and concern, with the Local Memphis news outlet providing contact numbers for the MPD's Missing Persons Bureau. Though the incident concluded with the child's safe recovery, it underscores the ongoing challenges law enforcement faces with custodial disputes.

Further details on this incident, including specifics on how and where young Zorriah was found, remain to unfold as the MPD continues to investigate. The collaborative efforts between the police and the community once again prove crucial in the swift resolution of such potentially harrowing situations.
