A 7-year-old DeKalb County boy has been safely located. Police believe he was kidnapped by his father’s ex-girlfriend, launching a search.

The DeKalb County Police Department says 25-year-old Diamond Dupree dropped the child off with his grandmother after seeing news stories about the child's disappearance. 

Dupree is not in police custody, but investigators say she is still wanted for kidnapping. 

Dupree stands about 5-feet-2-inches tall and weighs approximately 117 pounds. Police have noted that while she may be recognized from a photo showing her with blonde hair, she no longer has blonde hair and now has black or brown hair.
