It was a reunion that a Polk County family had been praying for: four-year-old Rebecca Lewis came home to her family Tuesday.

  • Rebecca Lewis, 4, made it back home Tuesday
  • An AMBER Alert went out for her Saturday after a former family friend reportedly abducted her

“Just seeing her walk through the door took a weight off my shoulders," said Oma Mae Lewis, Rebecca's grandmother. "I know it’s only been two hours that we have been waiting. It seems like it has been as long as it was to hear something really it does or longer

An Amber Alert was issued Saturday when a man took her from her Lakeland home.

Investigators said the man was family friend Wild West Hogs.

They were found Monday afternoon in Memphis, and Hogs – previously known as Matthew Clark Pybus – was taken into custody.

During a press conference Tuesday, Rebecca's grandmother spoke of forgiveness.  

“He needs help guys," said Lewis. "So anyone that it willing to help Matt, please don’t bash him."
