The 911 call to report Hania’s abduction was made by a neighbor after a relative ran over to get help. The call came in to the Robeson County Communications Center at 6:54 in the morning on November 5, 2018. A female caller speaking Spanish was on the line, the Robeson County dispatcher quickly requested a Spanish translator to join the call. Initial reports during the 911 call described the abductor as a black male. During follow-up interviews, investigators determined the witness had not seen the race of the abductor because he was wearing all black, including long sleeves, and a yellow bandana over his face and it was still dark outside. The Lumberton Police Department received the call at 6:58 a.m. and immediately responded to the scene.

Hania's Mother asked the following statement be shared on her behalf to the community and to her daughter.

"I just want my daughter back with me. I am here waiting for you, I love you, and I only care about you and I don’t have anything against whoever did this to you. I just want you back."

If you see the stolen vehicle Hania was taken in, call 911. The Lumberton Police Department has set up a special tip line to call with information to find Hania. The tip line number is 910-272-5871.

The Amber Alert IS still active.

CNN affiliate WRAL reported that Hania was an eighth-grader at Lumberton Junior High School. It quoted her sister HP as saying Hania had gone outside to start the family's car despite her aunt telling her not to.

"She just got the keys and started to turn it on," Perez said. "And somewhere out of nowhere the man came in and took her away."

The family heard Hania screaming, she said.

https://www.facebook.com/video.php?v=344215683004358

The Lumberton Police Department and the FBI have found images from multiple video cameras in Lumberton that captured the SUV wanted in connection with the kidnapping of 13-year-old Hania Noelia Aguilar. Investigators have been collecting and analyzing surveillance video since Hania was taken from her home on November 5, 2018.

We are using these videos to accurately track the movements of the vehicle. Therefore, we are asking home and business owners with surveillance camera systems to call our tip line at 910-272-5871. Your footage could be important to our investigation, even if it did not capture an image of the SUV. Please, call us if we have not already been in contact with you to request video footage.

The Lumberton Police Department announced Wednesday that a surveillance camera captured images of the stolen SUV that Hania Noelia Aguilar, 13, was kidnapped on Monday.

Police did not name the exact location where the SUV was spotted but stated that the image was captured near the girl's home minutes after the kidnapping.

Police helicopters canvassed the area above the Rosewood Mobile Home Park for several hours on Tuesday, and Lumberton police questioned drivers entering the mobile home community as they searched for clues.

Several law enforcement authorities, including the Lumberton Police Department, Robeson County Sheriff's Office, FBI, FBI’s Child Abduction Rapid Deployment team, North Carolina SBI, North Carolina State Highway Patrol, Rockingham Police Department, the North Carolina Department of Public Safety Division of Community Corrections, and the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, are participating in the search for the girl.

De La Rocha said during the press conference that the FBI's Child Abduction Rapid Deployment team, or CARD, has been brought in to assist with the search.

He said Hania's family is "fully cooperating" to help find the missing girl.

Press Conference - November 7, 2018

Notes from the press conference, 3:30PM (EST) 11/7/18

Police Chief Michael McNeill…

• The image recently released of the SUV was captured near HNA’s home minutes after the kidnapping Monday.
• They’ve also found a second image on a different camera as well. It’s grainy, but it’s the same stolen SUV that she was forced into.
• Those pictures help them, but they need evidence to find HNA and bring her home safe.
• They are asking anyone in the Lumberton area who may have a camera, or video surveillance system, to save the video and contact them immediately at 910-272-5871.
• Please call the special tip line if you have any footage at all. Call them, and they will come out and take the footage.
• Call 911 if you see the stolen 2002 or 2003 (same body style) Ford Expedition with the SC license plate NWS-984.

FBI Agent Supervisor Andy Delarocha

• They need to speak with anyone who lives in Rosewood Mobile Home Park, anyone who drove by, or has visited the area.
• Please call them at the special tip line at 910-272-5871.
• As a reminder, the FBI is offering a reward of up to $15,000 for information leading to the location of Hania.

FBI Special Agent Liza Vita

• Provided remarks in Spanish

Some Q&A notes …

FBI Andy Delarocha

• They’re not going into the exact locations of the surveillance still image. If they tell people, they don’t want to discourage people who may not be in those areas to share their own footage.
• They are receiving tips and leads from the community. They are hopeful with the publication of a $15,000 reward will increase the calls coming into the tip-line.
• They’re not excluding anyone in this investigation. He reminded that the family is fully cooperating with LE. They are not excluding any group of individuals as potential suspects in this investigation.
• They have no reason to believe that she knows her abductor, either.
• It’s been very important to work with families. There are things family’s know, to get their perspective and assessment of this situation, and anything they might be able to add.
