An executive order signed by Governor Sonny Perdue Tuesday will establish a Child Abduction Response Team, meant to better connect law enforcement agencies looking for missing or abducted children. This response team would coordinate across nine state agencies, including the Georgia Bureau of Investigation and the Georgia Emergency Management Agency. The GBI will head the effort and provide extra training to all agencies involved. The Governor’s action follows an abduction tragedy from last month, where three children were found dead with their father in a wooded area near Fort Benning. Those killings came after the father had threatened to take and kill his children.
