Volunteers Continue Search For Missing 5-Year-Old Dulce Maria Alavez

BRIDGETON, N.J. (CBS) -- A small group of volunteers scoured the woods in Bridgeton on Sunday for clues in the disappearance of Dulce Maria Alavez. The 5-year-old was kidnapped from Bridgeton City Park on Sept. 16.

The woman who organized Sunday's search says the family has received messages to search near the river for Dulce.

The Cumberland County Prosecutor's Office released a sketch last month of a man they believe to have been in the park at the time Dulce went missing.

Dulce's family is planning a march next weekend to the police station to keep Dulce's name and face fresh in people's minds.
