So FBI is searching behind Vadis Fire Dept and several homes. A resident there confirmed they have even searched the homes of relatives of RL. Stacy from WBOY is heading up to Vadis, so hopefully a news report will follow this evening.
I wonder if they have new leads based on the fact they are now searching other areas?

Please be found safe soon baby girl, you have a whole life ahead

VADIS -- Authorities including the Federal Bureau of Investigations, W.Va. State Police and Lewis County Sheriff's Department have been searching for Aliayah Lunsford, 3, since Sept. 24.
The investigative team has expanded its search to the Vadis area of southern Lewis County.

Search crews focused on a pond off Vadis Road, just beyond the Midway Fier Department Wednesday. Witnesses said they saw boats. Webster and Tyler County search and rescue crews with K9s also assisted.

Law enforcement convened around a home at 1903 Vadis Road, where documents show authorities arrested Aliayah's stepfather Ralph Lunsford for unlawful assault in 2009.

The FBI confirmed it shifted its focus to the Vadis area based on valuable tips from the community.

"The temporary command post vehicle has been removed to a remote location where we continue to conduct our investigation. There are a couple of areas in this remote location that we're giving a very close look," FBI Special Agent Jeff Killeen said.

Killeen said investigators are also still focusing around the Bendale home from where she disappeared. He also said investigators have not ruled out offering a reward for information and expected a decision to be made within one week.

The extended family of Aliayah has given an interview to WCHS will airs this evening at 11pm. One of Aliayah's great aunts Vickie Bowen stated that the report seemed to leave out their plea for Aliayah and make it seem as though they are accusing LL and RL.

Lena was official charged with multiple counts of Welfare Fraud

Well that's a start, now where is her little girl?

i've often wondered, from looking at her sad little face, if it was more than just sadness. she almost appears to have the look of fetal alcohol (or other) syndrome. made me think of "Deliverance". is she developmentally delayed? not just because it's W.VA. but because mommy is a bum.

The extended family got hold of some older pictures from her first birthday and a couple from this past summer, she is so cute and is all smiles in some. such a darling with her big brown eyes. The albums have been posted on all the Lewis County sites on FB. I hope she doesn't have any developmental problems LC, one of her Grandmas sisters posted on one of the fb pages and described her as smart, funny, outgoing and impossible not to fall in love with.

This is from one of her great aunts....

Aliayah is a beautiful, happy and giddy little girl..She can carry a conversation like a little mini- adult.She loves to talk on the phone or just sit and talk and laugh with you. She has a beautiful personality. If you would spend time with her, she will simply amaze you, as to how smart she is. No matter what you are doing
she wants to help. She steals the heart of everyone she meets. Please God
help her find her way home.

Bless her heart. you know she is likely gone. i did see those birthday party pics when she was 1.

from facebook.

still no birth of the twins?

then they have nothing. or they are waiting for birth of twins.

WESTON, W.Va. (WSAZ & AP) -- The FBI is now offering a $20,000 reward in the case of a missing three-year-old girl from Lewis County.

The FBI made the announcement during a news conference Thursday in Weston.
Aliayah Lunsford was last seen at her home in Lewis County on Sept. 24.

Investigators are hoping the reward will help develop a break in the case.

The reward is being offered for information that leads investigators to Aliayah's whereabouts or an arrest in the case.

Last week investigators moved their search to the Vadis area of Lewis County . The command was moved there after investigators say they received "valuable information." No other details about why investigators are looking in the new location have been released.

Meanwhile, Vickie Bowen, Aliayah's great aunt released a statement asking anyone with information about Aliayah to call her. She offers to arrange for a pickup, no questions asked.

Bowen says she won't give up hope that Aliayah's alive.

Authorities are treating the disappearance as a crime but have named no suspects.

Bowen says investigators have told the family very little.

She says the girl's mother, Lena Lunsford, has yet to deliver twins.

Lena Lunsford was eight months pregnant when Aliayah disappeared. Four other children have been removed by child-welfare officials.

Aliayah's mother was just indicted Wednesday on multiple welfare fraud counts.

Ok so this is all rumor from the lewis county rumor group but..... LL is apparently is in hospital and 6cm dialated, get those babied out bitch so we can get some answers about your daughter!!

Somebody else mentioned quite a disturbing rumor about Aliaya too.... They said they were told that LL and RL know where Aliayah is and everytime LE get close they move her... Move her body aw she is not alive!!

Nobofy likes rumors including me, just posting what is out there as there is really no new news since the press conference last week. Someone did however take a video of the presser, its unedited and in 3 parts and is posted on all the fb pages.

if true I bet there is someone from child services sitting in the waiting room waiting for her to give birth ,so she can take the babies away from from her. I find it hard to believe that they are moving the body around. LE has to be watching them both 24/7.

Yes they must be watching them 24/7. I don't think that is a possibility either, I hope there are some answers soon, these babies need to be born so we can get them from Lena.

I guess we will find out if in fact she is in labor or not depending on whether she appears in court today......

The mother of a missing Lewis County girl is set to be arraigned in Elkins Tuesday on charges of federal fraud charges.

Lena Lunsford, 29, is facing six federal charges she illegally sold her food stamp benefits.

A grand jury indicted Lunsford last month.

She's accused of selling her food stamp cards five times in September and October at a price of $50 each. Arraignment is set for 11 a.m.

Lunsford's daughter, Aliayah, has been the subject of an extensive search since she went missing Sept. 24.

Agents with the Federal Bureau of Investigation say Lunsford's arrest is not connected to the disappearance of her daughter.

she could be in hospital.

ELKINS, W.Va. (AP) - The mother of a 3-year-old Lewis County girl missing for more than six weeks has pleaded innocent to federal charges of welfare fraud.

Twenty-9-year-old Lena Lunsford waived her right to appear in U.S. District Court in Elkins on Tuesday. Her public defender entered the plea for her.

Lunsford's daughter Aliayah vanished from the family home near Bendale Sept. 24. Investigators are treating the disappearance as a crime but have made no arrests and named no suspects.

The mother was indicted last week on charges of swapping credits on her food stamp card for $50 cash five times in two months. She faces more than 10 years in prison if convicted.

U.S. Magistrate John Kaull has scheduled a Dec. 13 hearing on motions in the case.

Innocent my ass!!!

According to the video in this news link, LL was seen buying 'bath salts' as well..... What is wrong with this women!! Argh!
