An Amber Alert continues as authorities search for missing 5-year-old Dulce Maria Alavez. She went missing between 4 p.m. and 5 p.m. while playing at Bridgeton City Park. Police returned to the park on Thursday, 9/19, to conduct another search with specially trained K-9 units. Police believe that she was abducted while playing on the playground with her younger brother. Her mother was nearby but did not see what happened. After interviews with other people at the park and a full search of the area, authorities say that a Hispanic male, 5' 6", thin build, took her in a red minivan with sliding doors.
