Virginia sheriff deputies are touting the effectiveness of highway warning signs after an abducted Pennsylvania girl was recovered Tuesday.
A New York truck driver saw an Amber Alert warning while driving through Pennsylvania and recognized the car’s description when arriving at a Caroline County, Virginia, gas station. The driver saw the 5-year-old girl and called 911.
The girl’s mother, Courtney Foulk, is accused of abducting her during a supervised visit Monday night. Pennsylvania authorities said the child’s grandmother went into a grocery store, returning to find the car, Foulk, and her granddaughter gone.

Lt. Travis Nutter with the Caroline County Sheriff’s Department said Foulk had run out of food and money to travel any farther.

“When deputies searched the car they were in, they were unable to locate any clothes for the child or the mother. There was no food, no money for the mother to be able to purchase food and that sort of thing,” Nutter said. “The child informed us that they were on their way to Florida, and that they were gonna live there from now on.”
