Dozens of volunteers showed up in droves Sunday to continue their search for missing 5-year-old Dulce Maria Alavez.
It's been almost five months since Dulce was last seen playing in a Bridgeton City park with her little brother.

Since Dulce vanished on Sept. 16, 2019, various online groups were created to bring awareness of the child's disappearance, including a private social media group on Facebook, "Dulce Maria Alavez Community Search & Support." The group posts any search and rescue efforts and updates on Dulce's case as well as other missing children incidents across the country.
