“Anything’s a possibility at this point,” Antley said. “We’re hoping for the best, we want to get Faye back home. We’re not leaving any stone unturned ... we’re exhausting every resource we have and then some.”

Law enforcement is investigating a possible abduction — by a stranger or someone who Faye knows — or that the child got lost in the woods, and other potential reason’s she has gone missing, according to Antley.

[...]

“We’re working all angles, but don’t have credible information one way or another. We are exploring all possibilities,” Antley said. “We’re working hard to dispel or prove all possibilities.”

... Investigators are working with the Lexington 2 School District to speak with school employees and Faye’s classmates.

[...]

Part of the search for Faye will include investigators going door to door in her family’s subdivision and stopping vehicles driving in the neighborhood.

“Normally we ask ‘did you see anything unusual? Did you hear anything unusual?’ ” Myrick said. “Today, it will be more direct. ‘What did you see? Who did you see?’ We’re looking for patience.”

[...]

In addition to homes and vehicles, the search is also covering a wooded area in and around the neighborhood, as well as terrain at nearby Congaree Creek, which has risen with all of the recent rain, Antley said.
