Dramatic Bodycam Video Shows Police in Georgia Saving Abducted Children Tied to Amber Alert

  • On Monday, Atlanta Police Department officers rescued two missing sisters, 4-year-old Zola Cooper and 11-month-old Norah Cooper, from a trailer on Sylvan Road, arresting their babysitter, 42-year-old Lakesha Brown, on kidnapping charges.
  • Mother Elica Redding left her daughters with Brown on Saturday evening, believing the acquaintance was trustworthy, but reported them missing after Brown provided false information about their location and a non-existent accident.
  • Atlanta Police released bodycam footage Tuesday showing officers using bolt cutters to breach the trailer; the children were found in good health and reunited with their mother.
  • Facing two counts of kidnapping and two counts of first-degree cruelty to children, Brown remains in the Fulton County Jail after waiving her initial court appearance Tuesday.
  • Investigators revealed Brown has an outstanding failure-to-appear warrant from a 2021 kidnapping case in Alabama involving similar circumstances, prompting prosecutors there to file a bond revocation motion.
