utilizado. Todo cambi\u00f3 el 9 de noviembre de 2009, cuando una ni\u00f1a de 2 a\u00f1os fue secuestrada tras un violento ataque a la madre de la menor en Sanford, Maine. <\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">El teniente Brian McDonough, coordinador de AMBER Alert de Maine y director del Centro de Informaci\u00f3n sobre Personas Desaparecidas, ten\u00eda el d\u00eda libre y estaba montando en moto cuando recibi\u00f3 la llamada. Al principio, a McDonough le preocupaba c\u00f3mo reaccionar\u00eda la gente. <\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00abToda mi aprensi\u00f3n desapareci\u00f3 porque estaba funcionando\u00bb, dijo McDonough. \u00abLos medios lo acogieron. Todo el mundo estaba entusiasmado con el primer AMBER Alert de Maine\u00bb. <\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Seg\u00fan la declaraci\u00f3n jurada policial, Gary Traynham, de 38 a\u00f1os, irrumpi\u00f3 en el apartamento de su exnovia y luego la estrangul\u00f3 y la agredi\u00f3 cuando ella lleg\u00f3 a casa. La v\u00edctima intent\u00f3 llamar al 911 y Traynham se llev\u00f3 a su hija de 2 a\u00f1os y se march\u00f3 en una camioneta Dodge verde. <\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">La polic\u00eda de Sanford pens\u00f3 inicialmente que encontrar\u00edan al sospechoso r\u00e1pidamente mediante un aviso BOLO, porque viv\u00eda en la zona. Tambi\u00e9n debatieron si el caso cumpl\u00eda los criterios para un AMBER Alert, porque no se le hab\u00edan retirado los derechos parentales al sospechoso. Tras confirmar todos los hechos, McDonough dio su aprobaci\u00f3n para activar el AMBER Alert.  <\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00abMe preocupaba mucho que fueran a matar a esta ni\u00f1a\u00bb, dijo McDonough. \u00abSab\u00edamos que era un riesgo que merec\u00eda la pena asumir\u00bb. <\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">McDonough tambi\u00e9n supervisa la Divisi\u00f3n Sur de Delitos Graves. Se le asign\u00f3 adem\u00e1s la funci\u00f3n de coordinador de AMBER Alert despu\u00e9s de que mencionara que cada AMBER Alert es potencialmente un \u00abhomicidio en curso\u00bb. McDonough aprendi\u00f3 r\u00e1pidamente que se necesitan planes de respaldo para los AMBER Alert. El software del Sistema de Alerta de Emergencia ten\u00eda un fallo, as\u00ed que los medios recibieron las alertas por correo electr\u00f3nico y se avis\u00f3 por tel\u00e9fono a los responsables de transporte. \u00abHubo algunos problemas, pero en general la alerta se difundi\u00f3 muy bien\u00bb, dijo McDonough.    <\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">La polic\u00eda empez\u00f3 a rastrear el tel\u00e9fono m\u00f3vil del sospechoso y determin\u00f3 que podr\u00eda dirigirse a Vermont o New Hampshire. Ambos estados emitieron sus propias alertas y empezaron a desplegar agentes por toda la zona. <\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Al d\u00eda siguiente, Mike Grant Jr. estaba cazando con un rifle de avancarga cerca de un camino de tierra en Milton, New Hampshire. Grant reconoci\u00f3 la camioneta del sospechoso y record\u00f3 el n\u00famero de matr\u00edcula del AMBER Alert. El cazador se acerc\u00f3 al sospechoso y lo convenci\u00f3 para que se entregara. \u00abEste cazador fue un h\u00e9roe\u00bb, dijo McDonough. \u00abMenos mal que era temporada de caza\u00bb.    <\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Agentes del orden y medios de comunicaci\u00f3n se reunieron para revisar el primer AMBER Alert de Maine y ver qu\u00e9 funcion\u00f3 bien y qu\u00e9 se puede mejorar. McDonough dijo que toda la formaci\u00f3n que ha recibido le ayud\u00f3 para su primer AMBER Alert, pero no hay nada como vivirlo en primera persona. \u00abNo me arrepiento en absoluto\u00bb, a\u00f1adi\u00f3 McDonough. \u00abFue un \u00e9xito y se tomaron las decisiones correctas\u00bb.   <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Durante siete a\u00f1os, Maine tuvo un plan de AMBER Alert que nunca se hab\u00eda utilizado.
