The Lumberton Police Department and the FBI ask for continued assistance to locate 13-year-old Hania Noelia Aguilar.
Saturday, Investigators will continue to canvass the area near where the stolen SUV was found Thursday morning. We want to talk to everyone who lives nearby to see if they saw anything to help us
#FindHania. We ask if home owners or business owners have surveillance video and we have not already contacted to you to call the tip line at 910-272-5871. We are trying to determine exactly how and when the SUV made it to the field on Quincey Drive where it was found. Chief Michael McNeill urged everyone who lives nearby to check their own property, "Go take a look around your property and inside sheds or outbuildings. You know your property best. Call our tip line immediately if you see anything unusual or out of place." Specially trained searchers with the North Carolina Emergency Management Office are back out in the area Saturday to search areas that are not private property.
We also still need to identify a person seen walking on surveillance video near the kidnapping scene. Three separate videos show a man wearing light colored shoes, a light-colored shirt, and a hoodie walking down Lambeth Street, then turning left onto Highway 41/Elizabethtown Road towards the Rosewood Mobile Home Park.
"Someone knows this man and we need you to call us. Maybe you recognize the way he walks, his mannerisms, or maybe he will recognize himself on TV. The public was critical in the recovery of the SUV, now we need you to come through again for us. Who is the man on the video?", said Andy Delarocha, FBI Supervisory Resident Agent. Several vehicles were seen on the video driving by the man walking. please contact our tip line at 910-272-5871 with any information. If you are this individual, please call the tip line and speak with investigators, your assistance may help in locating Hania.
