A recent AMBER Alert issued by the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation contained a broken link. Instead of directing users to the active missing child case, the link led to an expired case. The mistake could have delayed the public's response to the time-sensitive situation.

The TBI has since corrected the link and reviewed its process to prevent similar errors in the future. Further details about the incident and the TBI's actions are available from the source. The agency had recently adopted new technology for cell phone Amber Alerts, which may be related to the mistake.

The AMBER Alert that was issued has been canceled.
