A 2-year-old girl from Idaho who authorities say was abducted in the middle of the night by her mother is believed to be safe near Farmington, N.M., authorities said this morning.

The Nampa Police Department in Idaho canceled the Amber Alert at 10 a.m. today that had been issued Tuesday in surrounding states, including Nevada, authorities said.

Nampa Police said they have credible leads indicating that Catelyn Sandoval is unhurt with her mother, Georgina Sandoval, in New Mexico.

When the Amber Alert was issued, authorities said Georgina Sandoval was possibly headed to the four corners area of New Mexico, Colorado, Utah and Arizona. She had allegedly made suicidal threats to Catelyn's father, police said.
