WORCESTER, Md. - Authorities in Maryland say a missing 3-year-old girl and the 30-year-old woman who was believed to have abducted the young girl have been found safe in Delaware after an Amber Alert was issued Monday night.

Law enforcement located 3-year-old Jalay Miyah Diggs and 30-year-old Kayleigh Burton in Bridgeville, Delaware, according to the Worcester County Sheriff's Department.

The Worcester County Sheriff's Office is headed to Delaware to talk to the suspects and the case remains under investigation.
