MISSING CHILD: Ahlitta North, 6 - Harvey, LOUSIANA
The search continued Saturday night for a missing 6 year old who was last seen in her Harvey home.
Detectives said Ahlitta North disappeared overnight from her parent's apartment in the 2900 block of Destrehan Avenue.
Now, friends and family are praying for her safe return.
“Whoever has her, please bring her back. Because we miss her and we love her,” said North’s aunt, Janice , through tears.
Investigators say North’s mother put her to bed around 11 Friday night. But when her parents awoke at 9 Saturday morning, the front door was ajar and North was gone.
“I hope nobody try to do her any harm because she's just a child,” said North’s uncle, Bernard Barnett.
A Jefferson Parish Sheriff’s spokesman said there was no sign of forced entry. Family members said North’s blanket, toothbrush, and toothpaste were also gone.
Jefferson Parish Sheriff's deputies broke through doors of nearby abandoned apartments in their search for North. They combed the area for hours, using a canine dog and passing out fliers. They also used ATVs to search a wooded area nearby, but have so far turned up nothing.
Family and friends are hoping for the best.
“What I thought was, the kid probably opened the door, unlocked it, went outside, and Destrehan is a busy street. And, bad things went through my mind,” said family friend Joseph Darrell Henderson.
Family members said North just moved back in with her parents last month after staying with her grandmother.
A spokesman for the Sheriff’s office said that the girl’s biological father had been contacted, and that North was not with him.
Family members said North was last seen wearing a gray tank top and pink pajama bottoms. She has shoulder length braided hair.
Anyone with information on the North's whereabouts, or who may have information in her disappearance is asked to contact the Jefferson Parish Sheriff's Office at 504-364-5300 or Crimestoppers at 822-1111.
