The distraught father of a missing 9-year-old Florida girl told his daughter Monday that he was doing the best he could to find her.
“I just want to say to Jessie that I love you and I’m trying,” a tearful Mark Lunsford told his little girl, Jessica Marie Lunsford, who disappeared last week from her bedroom seemingly without a trace.
…
For five straight days, police were joined by hundreds of volunteers who braved fog, torrential rain and a tornado watch to scour thick forests and marshlands in a five-mile circle around the girl’s house.
But late Monday afternoon, Citrus County Sheriff Jeff Dawsy told reporters he had suspended the full-scale search, expressing frustration it uncovered little evidence.
The sheriff said the girl’s disappearance is not a confirmed abduction, and he hasn’t ruled anything out. Deputies were even taking in tips from psychics.
“We’re all trying to find that little piece to the puzzle,” said Dawsy, who said 20 experts were arriving from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children to help crack the case.

When I first heard that littl When I first heard that little Jessica was missing, I immediately remembered the Elizabeth Smart ordeal in Utah. I remember her father continuing to hold press conferences to remind everyone that his daughter was missing. I believe that continued optimism, like Elizabeth’s family, and their dedication to finding her was what eventually brought her back to them. Mr. Smart might be very helpful in telling Mr. Lunsford how to go about getting publicity and helping Mr. Lunsford find people who might be instrumental in the search for Jessica. In the meantime, I remain optimistic for her return and my prayers are with her and her family. Ellen
