Police Lt. Dave Gamache says 22-year-old Kody Lee Kaplon surrendered Monday afternoon after calling an Amber Alert hotline.

Gamache says the girl's parents met Kaplon during a party at their house Sunday night. Her father said he was awakened by her screams and apparently saw Kaplon drive off with her.

The car, a green Pontiac Grand Am with California license plate 3WKA651, has not been found.
