Lyndon Albers, 2, was last seen at 4:15 a.m.at her Lincoln Avenue home.

The girl was found alive several miles away on Newbury Road in Rowley.

NECN reported that the young girl, identified as Lyndon Albers, was hospitalized and is listed in fair condition. Hanna is a facing numerous charges including kidnapping and breaking and entering.

The Essex District Attorney’s Office said Sunday the toddler had been released from the hospital. She was being re-united with her parents there late Friday morning.

“We’re trying to put the pieces together right now”, Hamilton Police Chief Russell Stevens said at a news conference after the girl was found. “It’s like a jigsaw puzzle and a bunch of the pieces are missing”.

But Crosby soon realized it was a child and asked his wife to call 911.

Investigators still don’t know how she got there.

“I couldn’t believe it. Things like this don’t happen in our neighborhood”, one neighbor told NECN.

“There’s just no reason to suspect anything weird from that family, or anybody that seems in be in and around that home”, said Peter Nichols.

“It could have been a doll, but I’m going to spin around”, he said, according to WHDH.

Neighbors say they couldn’t believe this was all unfolding on their normally quiet street.
