Detectives still believe Kimberly Lopez is alive in California or Mexico, but their tip line has received fewer than 10 calls since it opened Dec. 1. Many of the callers reported seeing a girl who resembles brown-haired, brown-eyed Kimberly, but no concrete clues have emerged...
Chavez’s mother Maria Lopez told The Star she has talked to her daughter about Kimberly’s whereabouts but had never heard the story of Chavez giving the girl to a family member in Mexico. “This is the first time I’ve heard that,” Maria Lopez told a reporter in Spanish.
Instead, Maria Lopez said, Chavez told her she had been too high on drugs to remember what happened to her little girl.
