Yesterday's Amber Alert hoax appears to come from an actual Amber Alert in Townsend Wisconsin on Saturday that was modified to identify Cattaraugus County, according to sheriff's deputies.
In Montana, there was a search underway for a mother and her two daughters. The suspect was driving a Jeep Liberty with a matching license plate number to the one in the hoax.
Sheriff Dennis John is encouraging everyone to check the New York State Amber Alert website before forwarding messages like this in the future.
