A 3-year-old girl taken by her father on May 1 is now back safely with her mother, while her father now has a felony warrant out for his arrest.
Michael Waldie was scheduled to bring his daughter Grace back on May 3 but never returned. Police said Grace’s mother called his family and was told he was gone, and that his family didn’t know if they would ever see him again.
On May 5, the child’s mother told police she learned Waldie had recently quit his job.
