COLUMBUS, Ohio – A statewide Amber Alert issued for two West Virginia girls was canceled this morning after the children were recovered unharmed and the man who allegedly abducted them was apprehended.

No other details on the case were available this morning.
Authorities say Margel Tenney, 57, abducted Shaina Nicole Tenney, 16, and 7-month-old Grace Hope Tenney of Rockcave at approximately 3:00 Tuesday afternoon.
A vehicle answering the description of the one they were traveling in was believed to have been seen crossing into Washington County on I-77 around 9:00 last night, prompting Ohio authorities to issue an Amber Alert.
Margel Tenney is being investigated for allegedly abusing Shaina Tenney, authorities said.
Shaina Tenney is reportedly Tenney’s stepdaughter and Grace is Shaina’s daughter.
