I understand and share your feelings. I would like to have seen one too, but based on what is known, this disappearance does not meet the criteria for activating an AMBER alert, under California's rules. ALL FOUR of these conditions have to be met. This case seemingly meets three, but there is no PROOF she was abducted, even though many feel she perhaps was.
In order for the California AMBER Alert Plan to be activated, law enforcement must be satisfied the following criteria must have been met:
• A confirmed abduction has occurred, or the child has been taken by anybody including, but not limited to, parents and/or guardians.
• The victim is 17 years of age or younger, or of proven mental or physical disability.
• There is reason to believe the victim is in imminent danger of serious bodily injury or death.
• There is information available that, if disseminated to the general public, could assist in the safe recovery of the victim.
