Investigators have identified the suspects in four fake 911 calls that sparked an Amber Alert in Dyer County, Tennessee.

One of the girls called and turned herself in, according to the Pemiscot County Sheriff’s Department. The juveniles are from Missouri.

Since they are juveniles, no names are being released. Juvenile authorities are handling the situation.

Officials said four calls were made to 911 between 3:30pm and 5:00pm Wednesday, July 15th. The caller identified herself as 13-year-old Latrice Watson, and said that she and her 10-year-old sister had been kidnapped and were being molested by a 57 to 60-year-old white male.
