'I can't find my daughter': 911 call released in search for missing NJ girl Dulce Maria Alavez
BRIDGETON, New Jersey -- In an emotional 911 call released Thursday, the mother of Dulce Maria Alavez can be heard telling dispatchers she can't find her 5-year-old daughter.
"Um, I can't find my daughter," said Noema Alavez Perez. "We were there at the park...and people say that somebody...probably somebody took her."
Officers said a man led Dulce away to a red van while she played with her 3-year-old brother on September 16 at the Bridgeton City Park.
Perez said she was in a car, approximately 30 yards away, playing a scratch-off ticket and helping her sister with homework.
"Me and my sister we came down, but when we got here, at the park, she wasn't here," Perez said in the 911 call.
