Maine girl reunited with mother after abduction

SANFORD, Maine -- A 2-year-old Maine girl has been reunited with her mother after her father allegedly abducted her, triggering the state's first Amber Alert and a 30-hour manhunt that spanned three states.

Hailey Traynham and her mother were reunited Tuesday night in Sanford after a deer hunter spotted her and her father in a pickup truck on a logging road in New Hampshire.

An Amber Alert was issued Monday after police said 38-year-old Gary Traynham of Kennebunk assaulted the girl's mother -- his estranged girlfriend -- and fled in a stolen pickup truck.

The Journal Tribune newspaper says Hailey's mother filed court papers Nov. 4 seeking a custody hearing for Hailey. In court documents, she said the three had stopped living together as a family Oct. 26.
