Amber Alert Issued for Missing Kentucky Teen
#1
An amber alert is out for a missing Kentucky teenager. Police say a group of men took Janet Batanzos Quijano while she was waiting for the school bus.

This amber alert comes out of Monroe County. The 16-year-old girl was last seen around eight wednesday morning in Tompkinsville. Police say a group of men picked the girl up from her house, where she was waiting for the morning school bus.

Investigators believe the teenager may be in a red minivan with five hispanic men.

Police have searched all day for the teen and the red van. There's no word yet whether the teenager knew the men, but state police issued the amber alert because the girl may have been abducted and could be in danger.

Janet Quijano is a hispanic. She's 4'11" weighs about 85 pounds with black hair and dark eyes. She also has a scare on her right cheek. She left the house wearing blue jeans and a red sweater with green squares.

There have been no signs of the teen or the car, we're told investigators ran into a road block because the girl's parents do not speak english.

If you have information about Quijano's disappearance or if you see this girl call 9-1-1 or 1-877-AMBER-17.

An Amber Alert was cancelled Thursday after the 16-year-old subject of the alert was found in Texas.

Janet Quijano was in the custody of police in Vernon, Texas as of Thursday afternoon. No other details have been released by authorities.

The father of the girl says a man state police have listed as a suspect in his daughter's disappearance was an acquaintance of the family.

Tiburcio Quijano said in a telephone interview from his Tompkinsville home Thursday that Salvadore Perez, the friend, and his daughter were not involved romantically to his knowledge.

The only witness to what was reported by authorities as an abduction was Marta Besarto, the sister-in-law of Tiburcio. Besarto told the girl's father that the 16-year-old was already in a red van when she saw her Wednesday morning, so it was not known is she got into the vehicle voluntarily or was pulled in.

Quijano said his sister-in-law recognized the driver as someone she knew other than Perez.

The Monroe County Sheriff's Department and state police issued statements saying that Janet Quijano was last seen at 8 a.m. Wednesday near her Center Point Road residence in Tompkinsville, waiting for a school bus.
