SOME CASE BACKGROUND
-Police began looking for 2-year-old Myra Lewis on Saturday afternoon after family members realized she was missing. She may have been gone from her rural Camden home for four hours by that time. Myra's family has reportedly said they searched for the child themselves before calling authorities.(HOTD: a 2-year-old not reported missing for 4 hours? -- I'd like to know more about the family.)
-An Amber alert was issued Sunday (March 2) and family members said Monday they believed she was kidnapped. But Madison County Sheriff Randy Tucker says authorities aren't sure.
-Tucker said Tuesday (March 4) that authorities had searched 4 square miles around the family home, using dogs, aircraft and more than 300 people.
- On Wednesday (March 5), the FBI joined the search.
-On Friday (March 7) Myra's mom Ericka Lewis was arrested on an unrelated probation violation.
-The sheriff urges people to contact authorities with tips "no matter how insignificant."
