ST. GEORGE — A missing Missouri girl allegedly taken by her mother during a supervised visit in Missouri has been found safe in St. George.
Police said 7-year-old Piper Ivy Johnson was located and that her mother, Valarie Baker, was arrested and taken into custody.
Baker allegedly "used physical force" to take her non-custodial daughter from a library in St. Charles County, Missouri, Monday afternoon. Baker's car was reportedly spotted Tuesday approaching the Utah state line by a license plate reader in Colorado.
