SPRINGFIELD, Mo. -
Police worked a crime scene all night at 1538 E. Stanford St. as they investigated the kidnapping and murder of 10-year-old Hailey Owens. She was taken from the 3200 block of West Lombard Street as she walked from a friend's home to her home two blocks away late Tuesday afternoon.

At a news conference at 6:30 a.m., police would not confirm that they found Hailey's body but multiple news agencies report that fact, including that the family was told of her death. Early Wednesday morning, police parked a mobile Crime Scene vehicle at the home on Stanford. FBI agents are also at the scene.

Police arrested Craig Michael Wood on suspicion of first-degree murder. Police located Wood about 8:30 p.m. in his vehicle in his driveway at 1538 E. Stanford, where he lives. A search for Hailey then started in the area around Bennett Street at National Avenue, near Phelps Grove Park, the Springfield Art Museum and Mexican Villa restaurant. About 35 police officers were involved in the search, which resulted in the discovery of evidence of foul play in the case.

Wood is an in-school suspension teacher at Pleasant View Middle School.

[Why Not?]

I'm sure there's a time to debate the efficiency and technique of Amber Alerts. I'm also sure that time is not on a thread chock full of parents and even the uncle(so sorry man)of a child that just got killed. Use a smidge of common decency sense.

Big ****ing deal. If they bother you after the first couple, turn the volume of your phone down. Of all the things to complain about you choose the frequency of alerts to create awareness of an abducted child.

Yes, everyone in Kansas City should just give up use of their personal cell phones over this. That is entirely reasonable.

Did the alerts break your phone?

Again, someone is not reading and comprehending what is being said. If you were actually paying attention, you would've seen where I posted that I have never received an Amber Alert on my phone. I was made aware of the situation via facebook early yesterday evening though.

And if you had actually read and comprehended the post I was responding to, you would have known that the author of said post suggested turning the volume down on the phone, which would have rendered it useless for incoming calls, thereby giving up personal use of his phone.

Does that adequately explain things for you? Or do I need to draw you some pictures too?

Who said anything about giving up the use of your cell phone? You truly are one stupid bastard.

Turning the volume down doesn't do anything. As you can see in my screenshot, my phone is on vibrate like it is 99.99% of the time. Yet the siren still sounds.

Get a better phone. My phone was on silent and the only reason I even noticed the alerts was because I looked at my phone to check my email. I saw tha Amber Alert on television.

I have the S3. Its good enough. I work with people with all kinds of phones and they all started ringing at once even though most people have them on silent or vibrate.

Maybe this has already been addressed but I question why they were still sending out amber alerts by that time if her body was discovered hours earlier.

I'm OK with the alerts.
