Two things about this make me crazy. Here’s a 13 year old girl reported missing. She’s been missing for 3 weeks, but the police have “no reason to believe she was in any danger.” WTF is that? She’s missing……isn’t that fucking reason enough to think she might be in danger? Then……there was no Amber alert because the case didn’t meet all the criteria. Gee, what criteria wasn’t met? She wasn’t a little white girl with blond hair???? And now they tell the family not to talk to the media. They do NOTHING, and don’t want the family to talk to the media about it. Unfuckingbelievable. Not only would I be talking to the media, I’d be talking to a damn lawyer. My heart felt sympathies go out to this family. What a nightmare.

Police said today they had no reason to believe a 13-year-old girl who had been missing for three weeks was in any danger, until her body was found near a garbage bin.

Neica Marie Gibbs‘ body was found Tuesday night in the 2700 block of Southwest 6 Drive.

Police, who have refused to say how Gibbs died, were in daily contact with her family after they reported her missing, police spokesman Sgt. Frank Sousa said. “The missing persons investigator who worked on this case did everything he could do,” Sousa said.

Gibbs’ body had been sprawled in front of the bin for an extended period, but police would not say how long it had been there.

An Amber Alert was not issued when Gibbs vanished because her disappearance did not meet all the criteria for the alert, Sousa said.
