UPDATE (Oct. 7, 7:10 p.m.):*Newton County Sheriff's Office (NCSO) investigators are looking for a 15-day-old female child that is missing from her parent's home at Lot 31 of the Eagle Mobile Home Park off Highway 36 in Newton County as of 10 a.m. Saturday morning.*
NCSO Captain Keith Crum said*Caliyah C. McNabb was born prematurely on Sept. 24 and weighs about 5 pounds. She has dark hair, dark eyes and a mole on her hairline on the left side.*
Crum said both the child's mother and father reported seeing her around 5 a.m. for a feeding. She was then placed in a back bedroom of the residence with her 2-year-old sister. The parents slept in another room of the residence.*
Around 10 a.m., the father noticed the child was missing and searched the residence and the surrounding area and was unable to locate the child. That is when he called 911 and NCSO deputies, criminal investigation unit and K-9 units responded.*
Crum said additional personnel was called in and the trailer park and surrounding area was searched. The K-9 reportedly led the officers down a trail but was unable to locate anything.*
Crum said the search will continue "probably until dark or until we can't search anymore."
NCSO has conducted interviews with both parents, grandparents, aunts and uncles of the child with no leads. A search has also been conducted in the residence where the child was last seen. Crum said there is no indication that a family member would have taken the child from the home.
Crum said NCSO is reviewing all of its options. He was not sure if an Amber Alert would be issued for the child, as investigators do not have a vehicle, tag number or any other identifying information to search for.*
Anyone with information is asked to contact NCSO. Anonymous tips can be left online at*
