PATTERSON, Calif. (KTLA) -- The car that was the subject of a state-wide Amber Alert may have been spotted in a ditch near Patterson, and now a search and recovery tow truck is on scene.
A dive team from the Stanislaus County Sheriff's Department is preparing to enter the Delta Mendota Canal after receiving information a car matching the description of one driven by the suspect in a Patterson abduction was seen going into the water Tuesday.
The canal is at a high level right now, and the current is quick.
Sheriff Adam Christianson said a man who works in the area called his department Wednesday afternoon after learning about Amber Alert for 4-year-old Juliani Cardenas Wednesday.
He reported seeing a car like the Toyota driven by abduction suspect drive into the water.
edit later: KGO - Authorities in Stanislaus County say a car pulled out of a canal near Patterson this afternoon is not the one sought in connection with a kidnapping.
