3-year-old Harnett County girl has been found safe
A Harnett County sheriff’s commander said Wednesday evening that 3-year-old Zy’Rah Nicole Holliday, who has been missing since Tuesday afternoon, has been found alive.
“She’s safe and sound,” Maj. Jeff Huber with the Harnett Sheriff’s Office said in an email to The News & Observer. No further information was available.
An Amber Alert was issued for the child Tuesday afternoon and was canceled at 6:13 p.m. Wednesday.
She was last seen wearing a black shirt with flowers and the word “love” on it and black jogging pants.
Daquan Shandre Thomas, 20, was charged with misdemeanor child abuse, according to jail records, and was being held in the Harnett County Jail. He is listed as living on Crest Circle in Spring Lake.
When the alert was issued, Zy’Rah and Thomas were said to be on foot in the Spring Lake area.
The girl lives with her mother on Sweet Lane, and WNCN-TV reported that officials had searched a pond near there Tuesday night.
If you have any information regarding this abduction, call the Harnett County Sheriff Office immediately at 910-893-9111, or call 911 or *HP.
