Sage Cambron and her biological mother, Brenda Cambron, were located this morning by the Clinton Police Department in Mississippi. Sage was reported missing by her foster guardian on Monday from their home in Port Charlotte. After a search of her neighborhood, detectives quickly identified Sage’s biological parents as persons of interest in her disappearance. Sage’s father was contacted at his home in Louisiana and was arrested shortly after on unrelated drug charges. Sage’s mother was not located and a warrant was issued for her arrest.
Detectives began tracking Brenda Cambron’s phone on Tuesday, which she then turned off for an extended period of time. Early this morning, an analyst assigned to the Major Crimes Unit observed the phone was pinging again from a cell phone tower off I-20 in Mississippi. The analyst brought up maps of the area, examined the pinged locations, and contacted the local police department by phone to advise them of the situation.
The Clinton Police Department responded to the area, searching hotel parking lots. An alert officer located Cambron’s vehicle in a McDonald’s parking lot, also observing that the tag on the vehicle was no longer the assigned FL tag. Their agency will be investigating the possible theft of the tag that was affixed to the vehicle.
Brenda Cambron was arrested by the Clinton Police Department on her outstanding warrants. It is undetermined whether she will be transferred to Louisiana or Florida at this time. Sage Cambron appeared to be in good health at the time of her recovery.
