HAMPTON, Va. (WAVY/AP) - Police are searching for a missing 5-year-old autistic girl who is believed to have wandered away from her home in Hampton.
Dive teams from Hampton and the Virginia State Police have been searching three small lakes in the area of Triton Way.
Hampton police Cpl. Jason Price says Kaymania Serenity Catta's family reported her missing at 5:43 p.m. Wednesday.
Price says the girl doesn't speak.
Several state, local and federal agencies will be on-hand, including the FBI, Newport News Police and members of the military to assist with the search. In addition, two experts from the Center for Missing and Exploited Children will be coming into town Thursday morning.
At 6 a.m., officials began sending out reverse 911 calls which include a detailed automated message about Kaymania's disappearance.
Kaymania was wearing a black "Hello Kitty" T-shirt and purple shorts with white stripes when she disappeared. She wasn't wearing shoes. She's described as a black child with medium complexion, 4 feet tall and weighing about 50 pounds.
If you see Kaymania Serenity Catta, call the Hampton Police Division at 727-6111 or the Crime Line at 1-888-LOCK-U-UP.
