ORIGINAL STORY:

The Cassia County Sheriff's Office is looking for a 4-year-old Alaina Duey who was last seen in Burley, Idaho. She is believed to be in danger.

An AMBER Alert was issued for her on Tuesday night.

Authorities believe the girl may be with her grandmother, Elizabeth Crofts in a 2004 silver Pontiac Grand Prix and may be headed to Boise, or Arizona.

Duey is 3'5" tall and 45 pounds with brown hair and brown or hazel eyes. She was last seen wearing blue jeans, a rainbow-colored shirt with a flower, and gray boots.

Crofts was last seen wearing a black coat, blue jeans with holes, and tan dress shoes.

Deputies say Crofts was going to take Alania to school, but the mother says Alaina never made it to school later learning that the Crofts had checked out of her Budget Motel room.
