Good morning, Kathy.

Good morning.

In the news this morning, an Amber Alert has been issued for a missing bridge to New Jersey girl who vanished from the park on Monday.

You guys remember, had this story yesterday, and I actually wondered why it took so long to put it out as an amber alert. Dulce Maria Alaves was last seen in the area of Bridgeton City Park just before 5 p.m. Dulce's mother, Noamma Alvarez, reported to police that her daughter was playing on the swings with her three-year-old brother, approximately 30 yards away while she remained in her car with an eight-year-old relative. According to the mother, the three-year-old returned to the car without his sister, and they were not able to locate her after. The last scene images, the last images taken of the child were with her mother and little brother buying ice cream at a nearby store just before they went to the

park authorities believe the girl was taken by a light skin possibly Hispanic male roughly five

foot six inches tall he's believed to be wearing orange sneakers red pants and a black shirt it's

unknown if the suspect knew the girl or the family police say the man led the little girl from

the playground to a red van with a sliding door and tinted windows.

The man then allegedly fled with the girl.

On Tuesday morning, searchers could be heard calling her name in the forested area an estimated half a mile from where the girl was last seen on Monday afternoon.

The fate of the little girl has motivated many of the community joining in on the search for the volunteers.

The Cumberland County Prosecutor said the search for Dulce continues, including assistance from the FBI.

Dulce is described as a Hispanic female, approximately three feet, five inches tall with a medium build.

She was last seen wearing a yellow shirt, black and white checkered long pants with a flower design

and white sandals. Her hair is a dark colored and it was in a ponytail last time she was

seen. Anyone with information about her whereabouts should contact Bridgeton police.

You know, you wonder why some parents are helicopter parents, you know. I mean, they just

stories like this. Oh, God, yeah. You know, reinforce that. So hope for the best on this, please. Someone knows this guy with a van and the description and all that stuff, right? Yeah. Sliding doors. A tiny guy, too. Like a little guy, 5, 6, red van, orange sneakers, like all of these.

Because sometimes you hear these descriptions and it's like, yeah, they're vague.

Yeah, this is pretty specific.
