When Manny Correa and Amanda Disley, of Springfield, Massachusetts, were out for dinner with their five children, a car they had first seen on an amber alert appeared right in front of their eyes. Knowing that 11-year-old Charlotte Moccia had been kidnapped and was likely inside the blue Honda Civic, the couple felt they had to track the car down until police could be summoned.
“I had to do what I had to do, being a father,” Correa told ABC News. Thus began a wild chase that led them through red lights at high speeds as they attempted to provide the car’s license plate number to 911 dispatchers. “It was just an instinct of fight or flight that kicked in,” Amanda Disley said.
