Girl, 4, found with uncle in Chicago after alert issued downstate

A man is in custody after he allegedly fled downstate Mount Carmel, with his young niece and was found with a stolen van in downtown Chicago this afternoon, officials said.

The 48-year-old man and the 4-year-old girl were found after their disappearance triggered an alert today that the two were last seen in a 1998 White Chevy conversion van, said Illinois State Police Spokeswoman Monique Bond.

Chicago police officials searched for the van utilizing a helicopter and Illinois State Police searched for the van on the ground, said Bond. The two agencies were coordinating search efforts, Bond said. The van, which was reported stolen by the girl's parents, was also equipped with a built in tracking device.

Officials eventually found the van near the intersection of Stetson Avenue and South Water Street, shortly after 2 p.m., said Bond.

While the van appeared to be abandoned at that location, police were able to find the man, who is a cousin of the girl's father, and the girl nearby, officials said.

No one appeared injured in the incident but the girl was taken to an area hospital to be checked out, Bond said.
