HICKORY, N.C. -- Hickory police have issued an Amber Alert for a 10-year-old girl who was last seen sleeping in her own bed.

The Hickory Police Department said in a news release Sunday that the stepmother of Zahra Clare Baker has been arrested on unrelated outstanding charges.

A police spokesman did not immediately respond to messages seeking more details on charges against Elisa Baker and a Catawba County jail officer had no record of her being booked.

Zahra was discovered missing Saturday afternoon by her father and stepmother who told police they searched for the girl for about an hour before reporting her missing around 2 p.m.

They had last seen her 12 hours earlier asleep in her bed.
