UPDATE 12/16 5:31 p.m. -- The Amber Alert for Donovin Johnston has been canceled. Donovin was found safe Wednesday evening.
According to Wood County Sheriff's Deputies, Smiley and Donovin were found inside the home of one of Smiley's friends.
Deputies say a tarp had been placed over Smiley's car to hide it, but the wind blew the tarp, so the license plate was exposed. Connie was placed in custody, but not in front of Donovin.
"She has suffered from mental illness for years, and her inability to admit it, and cope with it, has caused this to happen," says Connie's mother & Donovin's grandmother. "I know she is not in a good place. She's in a really dark place right now. I love her so much. I'm just so sorry this happened. I'm also very thankful that they found my grandson, and that he's safe. I was worried sick. I did everything I could to help find him. I can't wait to see him."
