Search for abducted 3-year-old Alabama girl enters 'critical hours,' police say
[...]

At one point, a man walks by, looks over at the two, but doesn’t stop. Police said they want to know who this man is. They believe he may have seen something that night which might help investigators.

As the video continues, a second man walks by, stops and talks with the girls. He then walks away with the two girls following him and out of frame. Police said they know who that man is and believe he may be a suspect, but qualified that statement asserting that they have not ruled anyone out as a suspect.

Investigators said a few minutes after that two girls walk out of frame, police received the 911 call saying Kamille was abducted, making that video that last time anyone saw her. Police also noted there was a 37-minute difference in the timestamp of the video.

Crime Stoppers see 50 percent increase in calls after Birmingham kidnapping
[...]

“There’s been a huge response from the community, our tip volume has probably increase by 50 percent with a lot of those calls being related to the kidnapping case.” said Crime Stoppers program coordinator J.M. Davis.

One thing they want people to be aware of – there’s no such thing as a bad tip.

“There’s no way to predict what might be important to a detective working a case, so what may seem inconsequential to you may be the very piece of the puzzle the detective is looking for or it may lead him to that piece," said Davis.

[...]

Bottom line, you're helping put bad guys away and getting paid. Sometimes tens of thousands of dollars, all while remaining anonymous.

"There are two males that appear in the video where the two children are playing," Birmingham Police Chief Patrick Smith said at a news conference on Friday. "The first male will walk completely by. He looks at them. And it's the second male that comes up and engages the children."

That second man is a suspect, said Smith, adding that investigators believe they know who that man is. Police are looking to identify and speak with the first male in the video.

"The first man who walked by in the video, he may have pertinent information that will help us," Smith said. "This is the male we're looking for ... we want to talk to him ... if he saw something that night that may be critical to the investigation."

Community won’t stop until Kamille ‘Cupcake’ McKinney is home, pastor says
[...]

Police say Kamille was abducted between 8 p.m. and 8:30 p.m. seven days ago while attending a birthday party in the Tom Brown Village public housing community. According to other children in the area at the time, a man was handing out candy to children in the area. At some point, they said, he snatched a barefoot Kamille and put her into a Toyota SUV and drove off.

[...]

AT, Kamille’s mother, was present at the vigil but declined to speak to the congregation. Her older brother, SL, spoke instead.

[...]

SL also talked about social media and the “slandering” his sister from different people online. “No one knows how hard this is for her or our family," he said. “I wish everyone could keep their personal opinions to themselves at this time. That won’t help find my niece.”

“I appreciate everybody that’s searching, walking. I’ve been up several nights, different spots, whatever tips I hear, I don’t care what time it is, I’m up. And then I’m going to go to work, be right by my sister’s side. So to everybody whose making these false allegations, just keep your mouth closed in prayer," SL said.

Community prays, search continues one week after Kamille 'Cupcake' McKinney was abducted
[...]

Today, Sergeant Johnny Williams said there's no updates in the investigation.

[...]

So far authorities have searched 4 main areas.
  • The site of the kidnapping, the Tom Brown Village housing community.
  • Then they searched the Woodside Condominiums on Roebuck Parkway where they found the blue Toyota Sequoia.
  • Monday, they searched the Parkway Villa Apartment Complex in Center Point, connected to one of the two persons of interest.
  • Wednesday, police descended on Marland Apts on Jefferson Avenue.
On Sunday, police plan to do a grid search in an area where another person of interest is known to frequent.

[...]
 
I’m baffled. Here they had 2 people in custody, one of which is still there and one I’m sure they’re watching. Why couldn’t they get more leads? I can’t believe she’s not found. I’m scared for her and her family. Prayers going out to them.
