BRIDGETON, N.J. - Family and community members on Friday will gather at a New Jersey park where a young girl vanished exactly three years ago while playing with her brother.
Dulce Maria Alavez disappeared from Bridgeton City Park on September 16, 2019, sparking a frenzied search that has so far turned up scant clues to her whereabouts.
Dulce was last seen playing on a swing set with her younger brother while their mother sat in a car nearby. Her brother returned to the car alone, with Dulce nowhere to be found.
Noema Alavez Perez, Dulce's mother, told FOX 29 last year that she was in the car helping her sister with her homework and scratching lottery tickets when she lost sight of the child for 10 minutes.Dulce Maria Alavez vanished from Bridgeton City Park on September 16, 2019, while playing on the swings with her little brother.
