On Sunday, Houston police found a missing 3-year-old girl who was the subject of an AMBER Alert; she was in a motel room with a man who resisted arrest but was eventually taken into custody.
No officers were injured, and no weapons were found at the scene of her discovery on August 21. At 3:43 p.m., Houston Police tweeted that the AMBER Alert was canceled, and the child had been safely located.
The charges against Hernandez are as of yet unspecified. Police said they were unsure whether there was an existing connection between Hernandez and the girl.
The Houston police initially received a call at 5:30 a.m. on Sunday about a missing child.
The girl’s parents had gone to sleep at about 11 p.m. Saturday. When they woke up early Sunday morning, their apartment door was open, and their daughter was missing, they told the police.
After searching around their apartment complex, the parents called the police. Officers arrived to search the area.
An apartment resident informed officers that they saw a man with the girl. The suspect was identified as Holman Hernandez.
At 2 p.m., officers found Hernandez’s vehicle at a nearby motel, about a block away from the girl’s apartment complex. The motel manager informed officers that Hernandez rented a room at about 7:30 a.m. Sunday.
Officers reportedly approached the room and knocked on the door. After no one answered, officers forced their way inside and discovered the missing girl in the room with Hernandez.
The girl was taken to a nearby hospital for evaluation.
“We’re all blessed. The family is blessed that the kid appears to be OK,” HPD Chief Troy Finner said. “To see the father and that kid in the ambulance and being able to talk to the father and the kid … it’s amazing.”
The Houston-based Texas Center for the Missing works to educate loved ones and authorities on finding missing people. From resources that deal with missing people — from children to endangered adults — the non-profit organization has resources to help.
There is no 24-hour waiting period required to report a missing person, according to the Harris County Sheriff’s Office.
Stricke while the iron is hot
The kid is a child, why couldn’t they say child.
wow you got your feelings hurt because he call the child a kid smh…..
The child is a toddler! And what are you?
What??
Yes kid is rude and insensitive. Child is more appropriate in this context.
“Kid” sounds so low life and ignorant.
They said 3 years old
O jesus come on.
They say kid because they’re ignorant,uneducated and most of all unprofessional. I’m 60yrs old and I learned when I was in seventh grade that “kid” is the terminology given to a baby goat!
He could have referred to the “kid” as a child.
my Dad would say kids are baby goats not children
Exactly what I always say. Kudos to your Dad
Have they found the 3yr old missing from San Antonio
Why didn’t the parents call the cops as soon as they saw the 3 year old child missing ?????
Because 3 yr olds can open doors and the first sensible thing to do is actually look for her. 🙄
A “ kid” is a Billy goat. This is a CHILD!!!!
Thank God child was located!!!
That is not always the case!!!!
Very sad. Hope the little girl is doing well.
Castration for people like that!
Also jail after carastion
Wood chipper
I am so happy they found the toddler, child. Age does matter! I’m so sorry to see this world infected with all the mentally, ill stricken pedos that are allowed in the libraries and schools, they have no right being there just like a CHILD has NO RIGHT being in a BAR. If this hurts anyone’s feelings, so be it. It’s those “hurt” feelings that CAN’T HANDLE THE TRUTH!!! We live in a “society of sissies” procreated by this sick government. IS THIS WHAT Y’ALL SIGNED UP FOR? Just asking.
Kill them for just thinking about molesting a child.
That officer is clearly very emotional. My guess is that he’s using that language to maintain some emotional distance in order to get through the press release. Good for them for a job well done.
Thank God the police were quick to take action. If they had waited, the out come could gave been much different. Thank God they had the good sense to act immediately !!!!!!
I guess it all depends on the relationship he had with girl…and definitely what he did to her. IF he sexually abused her…he deserves LIFE. She probably wasn’t the 1st…and wouldn’t be the last. You can’t cure child sex abusers.
