PHILADELPHIA (KYW Newsradio) — Pennsylvania State Police say the search is over for 6-year-old Zoe Moss from Chester County, who went missing earlier this week. She has been found and is safe.

Authorities say Moss' biological mother, Venessa Gutshall, abducted her Tuesday night during a supervised visit near East Ward Elementary School in Downington.

State police issued an arrest warrant for Gutshall on Thursday. Friday morning, they changed the spelling of Gutshall's first name from their initial Amber Alert and released a new photo of the girl.
