The Tyler Police Department issued a media release about 6:30 p.m. Wednesday canceling an Amber Alert for a missing Smith County girl. According to the release the girl, Ericka Faith White, 13, and her alleged abductor had been found in Fort Worth.

Police earlier had issued the alert after the girl, who is believed to have been abducted by 18-year-old Blake Austin Miller, went missing.

White is 5-2, 105, and has blue eyes and blonde hair.
According to the alert, she had previously been last seen about midnight on Oct. 4 at a residence at 10669 County Road 212 in the New Chapel Hill area.

She is believed to have been abducted by Miller, 5-6, and 140 pounds. Police say he has brown hair, green eyes and severe acne.

“Law enforcement officials believe that the disappearance of Ericka White poses a credible threat to her health and safety,” the alert stated.

Police say they were transported to Richardson by a friend and dropped off at a IHOP restaurant.

According to the alert, White goes by the nickname of Star or Stargazer and has claimed that she is 18 years old. Miller goes by the nick-name of Joker and is known to carry knives.

The two had reportedly been getting around by hitching rides, the alert stated.
