A mother who fled from Medford to Florida with her 8-year-old daughter is now under investigation by the Suffolk district attorney.
Carrie Walker is Toni Simmons' biological mother and was on Long Island for a pre-arranged visit Sunday.
The girl's father dropped Simmons off at the Comfort Inn on Route 110 and when he came back, Walker and his daughter were gone.
Police then issued a missing persons alert. Simmons was found safe with Walker on Monday.
Walker has not been charged with a crime yet.
