BURSTThe six-year-old who is the subject of an Amber Alert originating out of Alberta was last seen in northeastern B.C. on Thursday morning.
Lanakai Morrison, 6, was last seen in Fort St. John, B.C. on July 9 at approximately 9:30 a.m., according to an Amber Alert update from Beaverlodge RCMP around 9:25 p.m. Pacific time Thursday.
Fort St. John is about 160 kilometres, or about a two-hour drive, northwest of Valhalla Centre where Lanakai was reportedly taken from.
The sighting came about nine hours after Beaverlodge RCMP issued the Amber Alert for Lanakai.
RCMP issued the alert around 1:15 a.m. Mountain time on July 9.
Police say Lanakai was allegedly taken by his 35-year-old mother, Krista Morrison from Valhalla Centre, a hamlet near Beaverlodge, and less than 50 kilometres from the B.C.-Alberta border.
Lanakai is believed to still be with his biological mother, Krista, her partner Daniel Ludwig and another child, 4-year-old Karl Morrison, police said.

Ludwig, 35, is five-foot-11 with a large build, brown hair and eyes.
Karl is described as white, with a slight build. He has dirty blonde hair and brown eyes.
Initially, police said the four were believed to be travelling in a 2015 Toyota Tundra, with Alberta licence plate CTN9517.
That vehicle was located sometime on Thursday by police.
The four could now be travelling in a 2006 Red Ford F350, with Alberta licence plate CXW8820.
The Amber Alert has since been extended to B.C., Yukon and the Northwest Territories.
People are asked to not approach any of them, but to contact Beaverlodge RCMP at 780-354-2955, or your local police service, if you have any information.
