LEE COUNTY, Fla., - A Lee County family could be one step closer to finding their daughter, nearly six months after she mysteriously vanished.
9-year-old Diana Alvarez went missing from her San Carlos Park home back on May 29th.
The prime suspect in her disappearance, Jorge Guerrero, remains in jail on federal child porn charges. He has not been charged in her disappearance.
According to Thomas Busatta, the family's attorney, they've heard from sources that Diana was recently seen in her father's village in Mexico.
Busatta has been pressuring authorities to search in Mexico but the Lee County Sheriff's Office has refused to do so because Mexico is out of their jurisdiction and for the safety of their officers.
Now, the FBI plans to work with Mexican authorities to resume the search for Diana in Mexico.
"Ms. Hernandez was very excited at the thought of finding out that her daughter may be in Mexico and that law enforcement will follow that up in the near future," said Busatta.
