The 9-year-old missing girl from Florida, Diana Alvares, has yet to be found, despite her believed captor, Jorge Guerrero, being arrested and charged.
Alvares was last seen on May 29, in Fort Myers. It was initially believed she was traveling with 28-year-old Jorge Guerrero, who has ties in the Orange and Okeechobee Counties—his tan Chevrolet Malibu was located on June 4, and just hours later, he was found.
“Locating Guerrero did not resolve the case as Diana was not with him,” the Lee County Sheriff’s Office said. “The investigation is active and on-going as detectives are diligently continuing to look for clues and run down leads and interview anyone who might know the whereabouts of nine-year-old Diana Alvarez.”
Guerrero was transferred to the Lee County Jail and charged by the FBI with child pornography, a federal offense. He is currently being held without bail. The child pornography charges are related to allegations that Guerrero had photographs of a young girl’s body on a phone he had been in possession of, according to The News-Press. The child in the photos has not been identified.
Description of Diana Alvares
Diana has black hair and brown eyes, is 4 feet 5 inches tall and weighs 95 pounds. She was last seen wearing a short-sleeved shirt and shorts.
Several media outlets are reporting that when Alvares’s mother and step-father went to wake her up for Sunday morning church, she wasn’t in her bed.
Shortly after her disappearance, Alvares’s biological father, Martin Alvares-Moreno said all he “can do is wait from God to tell me where my daughter is,” speaking from Mexico through a translator. Alvares-Moreno was deported from Florida to Mexico in August 2015, following a domestic dispute, reports NBC2.
