An 11-year-old who was among the children reporting the incident told the Times Herald-Record the girl was skipping off to the side, singing in Spanish, before the men arrived.

Cameron said police were still reviewing the videos and other information in hopes of determining whether there was an abduction.

“We’re going to be thorough with it and do everything we possibly can do before we say one way or another,” Cameron said.

conceivably...but not likely....
the kid was filthy and they didn't want her in the car that way and thus the garbage bag...she protested the garbage bag so they put their hand over her mouth.


yes, i'm grasping at straws but its possible.

I was wondering if the children could have harmed her in some way and are just making up the story of an abduction. But...that is really stretching it. Hope the surveillance picked up everything. LE will need all the help they can get from the public. Where's the presser???!!!

No call of a missing child is very concerning. This case is maddening. :banghead:

What is going on.... No presser???

It seems like if it was a parent/family member just scaring their child they would have heard about it on the news and come forward by now....

The alerts have an 8-hour window, and Newburgh Detective Lt. Dan Cameron said police were able to get it extended for several hours through the morning rush hour in hopes of reaching commuters, but it has since expired.

City cops have not asked for the alert to be reissued, but Cameron said they’re still taking the investigation very seriously. There have been no reports from parents or other witnesses of a missing child, Cameron said.

“That’s good news,” Cameron said.

A group of as many as 10 children were playing on the backside of the building about 3:50 p.m. on Wednesday when they say the girl was abducted. They described the girl as dark-skinned, about 5 years old and 3 feet tall with long black hair, wearing a pink short-sleeve shirt with white stripes. The men were described as Hispanic, driving a black pickup with green lettering on the side.

An 11-year-old who was among the children reporting the incident told the Times Herald-Record the girl was skipping off to the side, singing in Spanish, before the men arrived.

The school district has issued a statement, saying it’s cooperating fully with law enforcement and has turned over surveillance recordings.

Cameron said police were still reviewing the videos and other information in hopes of determining whether there was an abduction.

OMG.... I just had a terrible thought.... I sure hope none of these kids "really" know what happen to her,
(if you know what I mean)

Just saying...MOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Maybe they don't speak, read or understand English ? Could have been a dad or uncle who took the child with the work crew that morning...yard cleanup or cleaning service..It is possible that the dad/uncle was playing with the child, and the onlooking kids thought it was something else going on...JMO That is if the kids saw anything at all ? JMO

 

[CN2Souls]

Or maybe she ran away from her house and the Parents have a terrible way of disciplining their children...

*** I saw a woman hit a child so hard in the head at Target, it just about knock him out... needless to say I just about knocked her out while I called 911...

sure hope they figure out who this little girls is quickly. I can answer a question as to why the kids might not know her name. I have a 5 yr old and for a week she played with the same little girl at school but when I would ask her the girls name she would say I can't remember. Took another week to find out the little girls name. Just saying that little kids may play with the same people everyday but if it is someone new they are playing with it may take weeks before they can actually remember their name. Again praying she is found didn't like the garbage bags.

NO ABDUCTION

City police say reports of a 5-year-old girl snatched off the street by two men in pickup truck weren't true.

Detective Lt. Dan Cameron said police followed every possible lead and reviewed video from numerous surveillance cameras in the neighborhood but could find no evidence of the black truck or abduction.

The kids, ages 5-11, claimed one of the men had grabbed the girl and put his hand over her mouth so she wouldn't scream before dragging her back into a black truck with green writing on the side. Cameron said video shows the children playing without incident, but it does not show any black truck or little girl
