She was happy picking out an ice cream and playing with her family. Police say this was right before she went to the park and was snatched by a man in a red van.
Amber Alert continues for 5 yr old Dulce Maria Alavez in the yellow shirt. NBCPhiladelphia at 11pm. Alavez Perez told investigators she had let her daughter and 3-year-old son go to the playground while she remained in the car with another younger relative.
About 10 minutes later, the mother said her son came back to the car in tears because he could not find Dulce. He pointed in the direction of nearby buildings where she had wandered.
After Alavez Perez called family members to help search for the girl, police were notified and an extensive search was launched in Bridgeton. Authorities released audio of the call placed by Alavez Perez at the time of her daughter's disappearance, offering some additional clues about what happened. The mother had been told by others at the park that Dulce and her younger brother had been confronted in the playground while they ate their ice cream.
Investigators believe an unknown man may have led Dulce into a red van with tinted windows around p. The man has been described as a light skinned man between 5-foot-6 and 5-foot-8 with a thin build, no facial hair and acne on his face.

She also has answered doubts and rumors about whether the family may have somehow been involved in the girl's kidnapping. During an appearance on the Dr. Phil talk show in December , Alavez Perez addressed police suspicion toward her family and said she had been given a polygraph test.
She also said she believed it was possible that her daughter was targeted by an "old friend" who was "trying to get to" her.
Police later said there was no substantial evidence implicating the individual named by Alavez Perez. In an interview with 6ABC on the one-year anniversary, as family members gathered at Bridgeton City Park, Alavez Perez said she felt remorse for letting her children go to the playground by themselves while she remained in the car. There were no cameras in the area to capture what happened at the park. Investigators have grappled at times with false leads in the case, including unfounded rumors that Dulce had been spotted in Ohio around March The investigation largely has been quiet over the last year.
Edgar Perez, the girl's father, who lives in Mexico, posted a video on YouTube in April to mark Dulce's seventh birthday. The video shows footage of Perez with Dulce before she went missing and includes remarks from Perez about his sadness over her disappearance.
Perez had been deported from the United States in
