Would really like to know how the scent dogs are acting or reacting and if they alerted on her scent. Just wondering.

TBI, FBI joined search for 4-year-old girl missing from Memphis home

The young girl, Sequoia Samuels, was reported missing Thursday morning.

www.actionnews5.com

Sequoia is 3 feet tall and 30 pounds. She has a feeding tube on her left side. She was last seen wearing a light blue shirt and black pants with hearts on them. She may be wearing pink house shoes.

She was last seen in the area of the 200 block of Caldwell Avenue.

Police say they are reviewing footage from a neighbor’s doorbell camera that shows her leaving the home and walking by herself around 3 a.m.

There are also drones in the area searching for the girl.

@ShaySimonTV

Family now asking community to call law enforcement with ANY details because her mother “isn’t doing well.” Sequoia’s great uncle says she is an “angel” and “very curious.” He tells us she was born premature.

I'm sorry what camera was she last seen on at 3am?

I haven't seen anything that specifies but I wondered if it was someone's surveillance/ring doorbell cam.

 

[Stunned]

Anything else medically going on besides the feeding tube? Which itself is overwhelming! IMO

 

[Deleted member 306806]

Looking at a map, it’s about half a mile between Caldwell ave and the wolf river.

This case needs a lot more attention. Was Saquoia spotted on any other surveillance video? As asked above, does she have any urgent medical needs? Meds she's missing? How often does she need to be tube fed?

“We have deployed K-9 resources, we’ve deployed aviation, we’ve had officers and deputies on ATVs,” said Sergeant Louis Brownlee with the Memphis Police Department. “We’re leaving no stone unturned.”

Please tell me this baby was not thrown in a dumpster. I don't know why but that's where my mind went upon hearing the news this morning. She was found in the same block she went missing. MOO
