A couple who were the caretakers of a 4-year-old girl who went missing in Oklahoma have been arrested and are expected to face charges including child neglect and murder.
The 5-year-old did not require any medical attention at the time and is currently in protective custody, Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation public information officer Brook Arbeitman said at a news conference on Wednesday. A search was launched for Athena, drawing multiple law enforcement agencies and volunteers. that the couple who had been caretakers of Athena and her sister were in custody after separate arrests.
“We’re praying for her family and her relatives and for the investigators who are looking for her,” she said.“The search continues for Athena until otherwise told, we will continue to hope for her return. Officials have not told us to NOT continue the search," one of the organizers, Jamie Hood, told BuzzFeed News on Sunday."We’re praying and hoping she is okay.”
"It has been hard to see people saying she’s dead when there is nothing said like that from officials. We don’t want to miss an opportunity to possibly find her," Hood said."Our greatest hope is that someone has her and she will be found safe."
