An Amber Alert issued for a two-year-old Ohio boy was cancelled on Thursday after the boy and his mother were found safe, WCPO-TV reported.
One day earlier, Centerville authorities said Melissa C. Myers, 35, threatened to kill herself and her son, Nolan Myers.
According to officers, she called police in Dayton and Centerville and said she would jump off of a bridge and drown her son. After receiving the call, officials issued an Amber Alert and asked the public for help in finding the missing two.
Early Thursday morning, investigators discovered Myers' 2013 lime green Ford Fiesta in the parking lot of a Best Western hotel in Monroe, according to the Journal-News.
Myers was transported to a hospital and her son was taken into custody by authorities. Police confirmed to the media that they are "both well."
Earlier this month, a teenager in Florida staged her own kidnapping -- prompting an Amber Alert -- following a bad breakup.
Ankita Lavender, 16, called her father and said she had been abducted by two men in a truck. Police then issued the alert, followed by a three-hour search that ended when Lavender was found lying on the side of a road less than a mile from where she disappeared.
After officers noticed the teenager did not have the injuries she claimed to have suffered, Lavender confessed the kidnapping was a hoax.
"My personal opinion is that she should be charged, but that's a matter for the state attorney's office," Clay County Sheriff's Office Colonel Craig Aldrich told The Daily Mail.
