  • Hollywood Police reiterated the alert on July 25 and urged the public to report any sightings by contacting local law enforcement or Broward County Crime Stoppers.
  • Investigators are searching for her parents, 19-year-old Samantha Feliz and 20-year-old Alejandro Leon Jr., who are both experiencing homelessness and are believed to have the baby with them.
