WAUWATOSA - The 911 call was frightening: a man accused of kidnapping a woman and her infant daughter set off a statewide Amber Alert.

But that call was not what it seemed, and the alert ended after Wauwatosa Police spotted the alleged victim's car at a Super 8 Motel where the mother and her daughter were staying.

Officers had thought Carlista English and her 11 month-old daughter Breonna Vann were abducted by the girl's father, Wesley Vann. He was already wanted for kidnapping English and her daughter once before.

"Wesley Vann has a history of violence and that was obviously what we were looking at as a concern," said Glendale Police spokesman Joel Dhein.

Police say the Amber Alert was issued after they took a call from a man saying he was on the phone with English when she was abducted.

Officers arrested a man who was with English and her daughter on unrelated charges.

Wesley Vann is still at large, and investigators are questioning the entire story and who made that first phone call that triggered the alert.
