SAN ANTONIO – The Texas Department of Public Safety sent out an AMBER Alert Friday for a rather disturbing pair of dolls - Glen Ray and Chucky from the “Child’s Play” horror films.
According to the alert, Chucky was last seen wearing “blue denim overalls with multi-colored striped long sleeve shirt wielding a huge kitchen knife.”

In case you’re unfamiliar, an AMBER Alert is sent for children and teens aged 17 and younger who have disappeared and there is a credible threat to the child’s safety. For a more detailed description of what criteria need to be met for an AMBER Alert to be issued, click here.
AMBER is an acronym that stands for America’s Missing: Broadcast Emergency Response and it’s also a legacy to 9-year-old Amber Hagerman. In 1996, Amber was kidnapped and murdered in Arlington, Texas. The case is still unsolved. The program started in Dallas-Fort Worth when broadcasters worked with police to create a warning system to find abducted children.
The good news is - Chucky and Glen Ray aren’t out and about in Texas. At least, we hope not.
