URGENT! INTERNET AMBER ALERT! 
LOOKING FOR MISSING GIRL, 
JAHESSYE SHOCKLEY
Nearly two weeks after a 5-year-old girl seemingly vanished outside her suburban Phoenix home and despite an $11,000 reward, police were no closer today to figuring out what happened to her as her family criticized the investigation. Jahessye Shockley wandered out of her Glendale, Arizona home on October 11, unnoticed by her older siblings who were supposed to be watching her. Her mother, Jerice Hunter called police after returning home from an errand. On the day she disappeared Jahessye was left home with her 13, 9, and 6-year-old siblings, police said. The children have been interviewed separately by experts and have maintained that they do not know what happened to her, Glendale police Sgt. Brent Coombs has said.
State Child Protective Services removed Jerice Hunter’s three other children from her home following Jahessye’s disappearance but refused to say why. Glendale police say that Jerice, who is eight months pregnant, is not a suspect and that police had nothing to do with the state’s decision to take the children. Jahessye’s family don’t believe that police have given her disappearance enough attention because she’s black and her mother has a criminal history. “We feel that law enforcement is not active in finding Jahessye and that they’re more active in persecuting me instead of finding out where she is,” said Jerice Hunter, Jahessye’s mother.
Police have no evidence, suspects or promising leads, but the case points to a kidnapping because they found no trace of her after combing a 3-mile radius around her home. More than 100 officers and volunteers have looked in pools, garbage bins, and shrubs, interviewed and searched the homes of registered sex offenders in the area, and stopped at every door to spread news about the disappearance.

Shirley Johnson, the girl’s grandmother, said she is wondering why the national media hasn’t spread the word on the case. “I want the national media to pick it up, I won’t stop til they do. I don’t know why it’s not national now,” Shirley Johnson, Jahessye’s worried grandmother said. “They have the ability to make sure someone from across the nation knows what’s going on.” Also Jahessye's grandmother, Shirley Johnson -- who has pushed national media attention for the case -- appeared on HNL's "Dr. Drew" Thursday night and made another plea for help in finding the girl. Johnson took issue with statements by Josie Hunter, an aunt of Jahessye, who suggested that Jerice Hunter may have abused her daughter. Josie Hunter said she did not know what happened, but wanted police to look at everyone and hold someone accountable if there was wrongdoing.

Jerice Hunter has a criminal history of child abuse, according to court documents that surfaced during the investigation.

Watch Johnson and Josie Hunter on "Dr. Drew:":

Jahessye ’s case has been mentioned in the Washington Post and the Huffington Post in recent days. But it has not received much national television coverage compared to cases like Baby Lisa, the 11-month-old missing Missouri girl. That case has received daily national news coverage and has been featured on the cover of People magazine.
Jahessye is described as a black female about 3 feet 5-inches tall, 55 pounds with black hair in a ponytail and brown eyes. She was last seen wearing a white t-shirt, blue jean shorts and pink sandals. Anyone with information about Jahessye’s disappearance is asked to call the Glendale Police Department at 623-930-HELP (4357).
