An AMBER Alert for her two young grandchildren was issued after they disappeared Thursday evening in the 300 block of North Central Expressway northbound, in McKinney.
At that time, they were having a supervised visit with their non-custodial father and Child Protective Services, police said. CPS had temporary custody of the girls.
The AMBER Alert identified Burns as the suspect in their disappearance. She is their paternal grandmother.
McKinney police said their father, Justin Burns, was arrested Thursday and charged with two felony counts of kidnapping.
