| Fears are growing for a little Kenyan girl with autism who vanished on Sunday afternoon, sparking a huge police search for the missing child. The 7-year-old, who is non-verbal, vanished from a neghborhood in Lowell, Massachusetts sometime between 2:00 p.m. and 3:00 p.m. ET. It's thought she may have been on her bicycle, officers say. The police are appealing for the public's help to find the little girl, identified as Anna Mutura, who is described as black, around 4 feet 7 inches tall and weighing around 70 pounds. She was wearing black shorts and a white vest, with a purple hair tie when she went missing. The girl was last seen around East Merrimack Street in the Belvidere neighborhood, according to authorities. The Lowell Police Department tweeted a picture of Anna along with her description. A follow-up tweet urged local residents "to search their properties (sheds, vehicles, boats, pools, etc.)" Crews had ramped up their search as they tried to find the little girl before nightfall, and officials said search teams would continue working overnight. Sniffer dogs, drones, state police aircraft, and a dive team at the Merrimack River had all been deployed, according to Boston news station NBC 10. Officers also conducted door-to-door enquires and scoured CCTV footage from local surveillance cameras | |||||||||
