Father Charged After Amber Alert

An Amber Alert was launched Monday after an eight-year-old girl vanished from Albuquerque following a violent home incident involving her father, Cavon Godwin, who allegedly assaulted her mother before fleeing with her. Police tracked them to a Belen home early Tuesday, where Godwin fled, leaving his daughter in the car — she was safely rescued. Godwin, now arrested, claims custody and says the attack was self-defense against his ex-wife’s new boyfriend. He faces multiple serious charges including child abuse, battery, and custodial interference. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
