ANDERSON, S.C. -- Tips came in from around the country in the days after "Little Jane Doe" was left in a stroller on a stranger's doorstep in Anderson.
The picture of 4-year-old Zoe Brown, taken in a hospital room at 2 a.m., and her story, spread faster than investigators could imagine, through social media and news outlets as the public sought to help identify the child.
By the time Zoe's parents were found, more than 3 million people had shared the Facebook photo that the Anderson County Sheriff's Office first posted on April 3, the day after Zoe was discovered, said spokesman Chad McBride.
The girl's father, Alonzo C. Brown, 31, of Marietta, Ga. was arrested in the Upstate and charged with unlawful neglect of a child while the girl's mother, Tongela Denise McBride was charged as a fugitive fleeing from justice, according to warrants.
McBride was apprehended at her Kennesaw, Ga. apartment, a warrant said, about 135 miles from the home on Brook Forest Drive where Zoe was left.
Jail records show McBride was born in South Carolina. She is being held at the Cobb County Detention Center, awaiting extradition to Anderson, according to the Georgia warrant.
The process could "happen in three days, or it could happen in three weeks," Chad McBride said.
Why Zoe was abandoned, though, remains a mystery. In the interest of pursuing justice for the little girl, the Sheriff's Office will not reveal the suspected motive.
"Any of us would probably take a bullet for her in a heartbeat, if it came down to it," Chad McBride said.
He said investigators worked tirelessly for four days to identify Zoe, following leads that never panned out until someone finally called in with a name after seeing the story on a television newscast.
The case of Zoe Brown was a first for the Sheriff's Office because it was, in a sense, a reverse missing child case.
"We had never had anything like this, and so we were utilizing a lot of the same resources that we would use for a missing child - SLED and the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children," McBride said.
In the meantime, calls, emails and Facebook messages came in from hundreds of people wanting to adopt Zoe, people who said they had fallen in love with this little girl and her story, Chad McBride said.
Zoe is now in the custody of the Department of Social Services, in a foster home, where she is safe and happy, he said.

LONDON - Former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher has died following a stroke at the age of 87, according to her spokesperson.
Britain's first female prime minister, she served from 1979 to 1990, and was the UK's longest serving prime minister of the 20th Century. She was called the "Iron Lady" for her toughness.

Thatcher stepped away from public life in 2002 after a stroke. She suffered several other strokes in the following years.
She made few public appearances in her final months, missing a reception marking her 85th birthday hosted by Prime Minister David Cameron in October 2010. She also skipped the July 2011 unveiling of a statue honoring her old friend Ronald Reagan in London.
In December 2012, she was hospitalized after a procedure to remove a growth in her bladder.
"It is with great sadness that Mark and Carol Thatcher announced that their mother Baroness Thatcher died peacefully following a stroke this morning," said her spokesperson Lord Bell on Monday.

Crews at the hole where the children were buried (WFMY)
CHARLOTTE (USA Today) -- Emergency crews early Monday found the bodies of two young children who were buried by a wall of dirt at a home construction site in rural North Carolina, The Charlotte Observer reported.
The newspaper said Lincoln County crews located the bodies of the 7-year-old boy and 6-year-old girl shortly before daybreak, but were moving cautiously to recover them because of the danger of a new cave-in.
Crews found them buried in the soil from the 25-foot hole that had been dug out by a backhoe in Stanley, N.C.
"These are horrific circumstances," Lincoln County Emergency Services spokesman Dion Burleson told reporters.
The father of one of the children called 911 to report the incident shortly after 5 p.m. Sunday. The children's names have not yet been released.
Neighbors stood by in disbelief as dozens of fire trucks emergency workers spent hours trying to get to the children.
"We worked as if they were alive," Lincoln County Emergency Services public information officer Dion Burleson told The Observer Sunday evening. "Times like these are very difficult. It's devastating for the family and each and every responder."
Crews at the Stanley neighborhood placed a safety barrier around the pit and used shovels and climbing gear to try and reach the children, trapped about 20 feet underground, according to WSOC-TV.
Some 65 emergency personnel from several places, including nearby Charlotte, were on the scene.
A neighbor told The Observer that a family member building a new home at the site had been digging with a backhoe there earlier in the day. The children were trapped in the hole later when part of it caved in.
Burleson said an investigation was under way. He said he didn't have information on construction permits at the site.
"This is a tragic night in Denver," Burleson said.
CLAYTON, Ga. -- The Rabun County Sheriff's Office is investigating the possibility that a wheelchair-bound woman was assaulted.
The victim, 21-year-old Ashley Hamilton, suffered extensive injuries to her head and face. Police found her at Raco's Sports Bar in Clayton on Apr. 3.
Rabun County Sheriff Frank Andrews said investigators think Hamilton was left in the care of family friends while her mother was out of town. The victim suffers from disabilities and must use a wheelchair.
Andrews said Hamilton may have sustained her injuries on Apr. 2. A home health professional said she told the victim's mother, Kelly Hamilton, to take the young woman to the hospital, but Ashley Hamilton did not receive medical attention until police and EMS found her at the sports bar.
No arrests have been made, but Andrews said the sheriff's office has several persons of interest. They are trying to determine when and how Hamilton was injured.
"We must be diligent in our efforts to find as much tangible evidence as possible since our victim is not in a position to tell us what happened to her," Andrews said in a statement. "It is in the interest of justice to see that no stone is left unturned."
NEW YORK - Shoppers at a Target store in Brooklyn say a label that listed the color of a plus-size dress as "manatee gray" was insulting.
The label for the same dress in smaller sizes described it as "dark heather gray."
Target apologized for the label.
Michelle Ho, shopping at the store at Atlantic Terminal Mall, told the New York Post that Target was "putting down one set of people over another" with the different labels.
Spokeswoman Jessica Deede called the labeling of the Mossimo-brand "Women's Plus-Size Kimono Maxi Dress" ''an unintentional oversight."
She said although manatee gray was a seasonal color, Target was "fixing the discrepancy." She said the item was removed from the company website.
