A 16-month-old child was abducted yesterday from a Mountain Home daycare owned by state Rep. Johnny Key’s wife. An alert was issued by the State Police at 8 p.m. and the child was found several hours later. More yet to be learned about the abductor, who is in custody. Also about how she was able to pick up the child with a bogus story about 11:30 a.m. and an alert came more than eight hours later.

UPDATE: The story has been updated by the Mountain Home paper. Stranger still.
