State Sen. LaTonya Johnson wants to overhaul the state’s Amber Alert system after Prince McCree’s death.
It looks like amber alerts in WI require a possible suspect and vehicle description involved in the disappearance, which the family didn’t have.
That said, you could broadcast the description of the child and rough area in which they were missing I suppose.
That’s true of Amber Alerts everywhere. The purpose is to find a fleeing abductor right away. It also requires a basis to believe the child is in danger, so you would not usually see Amber Alerts in cases of a parent abduction, absent some known threat.
Police Who took your child?
Family Dunno
Police What did they look like?

Police What’re they wearing.
Family clothes?
What was the amber alert supposed to say? If you see a 5 year old, call us?
Then they find the body right near home so they never even left to start with so the alert wouldn’t help.
