Authorities looking for missing 5-year-old Dulce Maria Alavez are asking anyone who visited the Bridgeton park where the child was last seen on Sept. 16 to share any photos or videos from that day.

Dulce disappeared from a playground at Bridgeton City Park last Monday and an Amber Alert was issued the following day over fears that the child was abducted.

Her mother, Noema Alavez Perez, had taken her kids and an 8-year-old relative to the park after stopping for ice cream. The kids ran off to a nearby playground, while the mom and 8-year-old remained in the car. Minutes later, her 3-year-old son came running back in tears and pointing to the spot where he last saw Dulce.

Since then, police have combed the park and chased hundreds of leads in a desperate search to find the child with the assistance of the FBI.

She remains missing and Cumberland County Prosecutor Jennifer Webb-McRae issued a press release Monday morning stating that the search continues on many fronts. The FBI on Monday set up a link where people can submit photos and videos from the park that may help in the search.

“We are asking anyone who may have been at the Bridgeton City Park Recreational Area on Monday, Sept. 16, 2019, between the hours of 3–6 p.m. to check their cellphones to see if they took photos and/or videos while they were in the area,” Webb-McRae wrote. “Their media may contain information which seems innocuous to them but is a valuable piece of the puzzle in helping us bring Dulce home to her family.”

Family members and area residents gathered at the park for a candlelight vigil on Saturday night. Local officials continue to hold out hope that Dulce will be found alive and a reward for information increased to $35,000 last week.

A hundred officers returned to scour the 1,000-acre park on Friday, and searches by air, water and underwater have turned up nothing.

Police are searching for 5-year-old Dulce Maria Alavez who went missing Monday, Sept. 19, 2019 while playing with her younger brother at City Park in Bridgeton. Police say she may have been abducted.

The Amber Alert was issued Tuesday night after a witness reported seeing a man leading the girl into a red van and driving off. The vehicle had a sliding door and tinted windows, according to the alert.

The suspect is described as a light-skinned, possibly Hispanic male, roughly 5-foot-6-inches tall. He has a thin build, no facial hair and facial acne. He was wearing orange sneakers, red pants and a black shirt.

While the Amber Alert suggests this was an abduction and calls the man a suspect, Webb-McRae described the man Friday as someone the police would just like to speak with at this point.

A spokesman for the New Jersey State Police, the agency that issued the Amber Alert, stressed Monday that the alert remains in place with the details as originally described.

Officials with the FBI handed out fliers and spoke with motorists around Bridgeton City Park on Monday afternoon as the search continues for Dulce Maria Alavez.

Representatives from the FBI returned to the park Monday afternoon, around the same time Dulce went missing a week ago, to hand out fliers to motorists entering and leaving the area and the nearby grounds of Bridgeton High School and West Avenue School.

Several sports events and practices were being held on fields between the schools and the park as a few dozen officials spoke with motorists, asking if they had been in the area last week and if they had seen anything unusual.

The fliers they handed out contained information about Dulce and the $35,000 reward.

Alavez Perez spoke over the weekend about the anguish her family is feeling since Dulce’s disappearance. She urged anyone with information to contact authorities.

Officials have repeatedly stressed that authorities are not interested in the immigration status of anyone who comes forward to provide information.

Anyone with information about Dulce is asked to call the New Jersey State Police Missing Persons Unit at 609-882-2000, ext. 2554, or the Bridgeton police at 856-451-0033. Tips may also be phoned into 1-800-CALL-FBI and select option 4, then select option 8.

Dulce is approximately 3-feet, 5-inches tall, with brown eyes and brown hair. She was last seen wearing a yellow shirt with a picture of an elephant, black and white pants and white shoes.
