Haylee Donathan
Late Friday afternoon, a domestic relations magistrate gave custody of 4-year-old Haylee Donathan to her maternal grandmother, Mary Watson.
Haylee has been missing since May 28, and is believed to be with her mother, Candace Watson, and convicted fugitive sex offender Robbi Potter.
An Amber Alert was not initially issued in the case, since Haylee was with her mother, who authorities believe is voluntarily with Potter.
But, with Mary now deemed the custodial parent, an Amber Alert can be issued.

Robbi Potter
Such an alert would mean that broadcasters, law enforcement, transportation agencies, and the wireless industry can activate an urgent bulletin to assist in the search for Haylee.
An Amber Alert will also allow authorities to use electronic billboards to run images of the vehicle Potter may be driving.
Mary Watson said, “Thank the Lord.”
Two local attorneys, Heather Cockley and Charles Lynch, helped Mary obtain custody of Haylee free of charge.
According to U.S. Marshal Peter Elliot, “This is a priority case for our task force. We are hopeful that this new ability to receive tips via text will bring the one key tip we need to bring this manhunt to an end and bring little Haylee home safely.”

The vehicle Potter is believed to be driving is a 1988 black and green Chevy pick-up truck with Ohio license plates ENS9729, although according to authorities, Watson has been known to switch plates on vehicles.
If you have seen Haylee, Watson, or Potter, please call 911, the toll free hotline at 866-4WANTED, the Crestline Police Department at 419-683-2222 or the Richland County Division of the Northern Ohio Violent Fugitive Task Force at 419-774-3930.
