Police have not released details of the circumstances surrounding the kidnapping, but the baby's family?who are desperately appealing for her safe return?say the SUV was stolen from them while she was inside.

The baby's mom, Bethany Smith, posted a desperate appeal on Facebook, saying: "Be on the lookout for a 2009 white Lexus SUV RX 350 damage to the back right. My car was stolen and the baby was in the back seat in her car seat!!! Please help!!! Car was stolen out of Parrish. If you're reading this and you know anything. All I ask is for my baby back. Y'all can keep the car!!!!! Just bring me my baby and no questions asked! Car was stolen from downtown Parrish between 6:30-6:50pm."

The baby's aunt, Melinda Hutchison, told reporters that the little girl's father left her in the vehicle for a minute to run inside a friend's house, according to local news website Al.com. That's when the SUV was stolen, she said. The family is offering a $5,000 reward for the baby's safe return, Al.com added.

They are now saying on FB (need to hop into a meeting or I would share the source) that the car was never stolen. Instead, it rolled down the hill while the father got out of it while at a friend's house.

Oh wow. Why TF would he make up that it was stolen?? He would rather the baby sit in the car the whole time they were searching??

I know, right? Here's the update:

Harlow Darby Freeman likely never kidnapped, police say: SUV possibly not in park, rolled away

The Alabama girl reported kidnapped from outside a Walker County home was found inside her father’s SUV deep in the kudzu across the street from where the vehicle was reported stolen.

Police on Tuesday said it was likely the SUV was not stolen, nor was the child abducted.

I did not see that twist coming

Ohhh, so he didn't know it had rolled away, and assumed it was stolen? I was confused, I thought he knew and lied about it being stolen.
