Still no trace of missing toddler
|
Now the toddler has been missing for nearly five days. Police are continuing to search for her, and they are still interviewing family and neighbors about her disappearance.
But a Smyrna police spokesman said Friday they are getting contradictory stories from the mother.
?Some of the things we heard previously, the stories aren?t matching up,? Sgt. Ken Hampton said.
Guerra is still being questioned, but police say every person they have questioned so far ? including family and neighbors ? is considered a suspect.
?There are too many unanswered questions for it to be narrowed down to two or three people,? Hampton said.
Guerra reported her daughter missing Monday morning and said she saw her last around 10:30 p.m. Since then, she has said it was closer to midnight when she fell asleep in front of the TV.
Guerra also told police Analyce has unlocked the door to the apartment before to go outside and play, but police say a 2-year-old couldn?t have gotten far from the house on her own.
Smyrna police have been to the family?s home before ? once on a domestic disturbance call and once when the duplex where the family lived caught fire. Officers suspected arson, but the investigation stopped because Guerra did not cooperate, police said.
Police and agents with the FBI and Tennessee Bureau of Investigation have been investigating tips and reported sightings of the 3-foot-tall girl who was last seen wearing a denim jumper with a floral design, but none have proved valid.
Crews have conducted searches of neighboring apartments, houses and cars and combed a nearby creek and trash dump without turning up any evidence.
?We?re in a desperate situation right now,? Hampton said. ?If a 2-year-old is out there by herself, there?s something wrong. Otherwise, someone has her.?
