The girl's stepfather, Uribe Jimenez, remains at a loss.
"What's going on here? They already finish all they need and didn't give me any answer? Nothing?" he said.
Jimenez said he's run over every scenario and every person his stepdaughter encountered prior to her disappearance.
He's particularly concerned about a recent roommate who was a little too close for comfort.
"They tell him they need to speak with him, that he needs to come to Fort Myers sheriff's office," Jimenez said. "But I have no news. I don't know if he go or don't go."
Others, meanwhile, think it could be a custody dispute between the girl's mother and her biological father, who lives in Mexico.
Many, too, are wondering why no Amber Alert was issued when it was apparent the girl was gone -- or in the several days since.
The sheriff's office pointed to a list of requirements that must be met before an alert is issued. And, in this case, not meeting the second and fifth requirements -- meaning there was no clear indication Alvarez was abducted, nor was there a definite suspect/vehicle to inform the public about -- is the reason an alert hasn't come.
Where are you sweet child?
