I was at a meeting on Thursday and heard people getting this Amber alert, but I didn't get one. This woman's attention saved a 7 year old boy.
"I stepped outside, I was standing by the trash can and I seen a white car pull up and I just happen to take my phone with me cause we don't look at our phones at work, and I looked down and I saw 'white Dodge Avenger amber alert', and I was like, nah, that's not him," said Courtney. "The man was walking across the parking lot looking at me ... cause I was the only person out here, with the little boy and the little boy looked scared and I was like no, that's not him."

It was him. And he had the missing boy. The two walked into a nearby dollar store.

Courtney says her gut was telling her she had to do something.

"My stomach started knotting up, so I was like, ahh, I'm gonna go, I'm gonna check and see," Courtney said.

She hopped into her own car and discretely drove by the suspect's vehicle to check the license plates. Sure enough, they were a match
