FBI Continues Investigation Of Missing Toddler

  • {West Virginia}...The FBI held a press conference Friday regarding the disappearance of 3 year old Aliayah Lunsford, a Lewis County toddler reported missing by her mother, Lena Lunsford, on the morning of September 24th.  FBI Special Agent Jeff Killeen said the FBI is narrowing its focus of the investigation and has a specific timeline of events. Killeen said they are combing through a lot of photographic and video surveillance evidence and are using digital enhancement techniques and have captured a lot of video from homes and businesses in south Weston. Killeen says more than one person could been involved in Aliayah's disappearance. Killeen says investigators are still working under the assumption that Aliayah's disappearance is still considered to be either a kidnapping, concealment or homicide. Investigators are considering it a possibility that both federal and state crimes have been committed. When asked if investigators believe Aliayah is still alive, FBI Special Agent Jeff Killeen said, "there is limited hope that she is still alive." Investigators encourage anyone that has any photos or surveillance video of the area that could be useful to contact the West Virginia State Police at 304-269-0500.
