The Amber Alert was issued for the baby Monday morning after police said her father, 51-year-old Carl Kennedy, assaulted her mother at a Virginia gas station.
Kennedy, a registered sex offender in North Carolina, allegedly then took the child and fled in a gold Suzuki with NC license tag number EKZ-5093.

Officers confirmed a previous report of a man trying to sell a baby in Durham was "not a credible lead" and deemed it unrelated.
