(Newser) – Another girl has vanished and the FBI has been called in again—this time to aid in the search for a 3-year-old Missouri tyke who disappeared as she rode her pink bike outside her home. BreeAnn Rodriguez vanished when her 5-year-old brother went into their home in the small town of Senath for a drink of water. Cops questioned a man in a van seen in the area, but he has been released. "I was shocked," said a neighbor. "It blew my mind. I couldn't believe that anybody would take a child in this town. It's always been safe here."

Authorities are now searching for the owner of another van spotted in the neighborhood. "It's such a shock that someone could snatch that child so fast and no one could see it," said the neighbor. FBI officials are pleading for anyone with any information about the girl to contact authorities, and a $45,000 reward is being offered for information about BreeAnn's whereabouts, reports ABC News.

Can you people please leave the pissing contests for another thread? There are times to argue, and there are times to be respectful and keep your mouths shut.

Every single time I see these stories I hope they find a delusional schizophrenic who simply took the child thinking they belonged to them and that the child is found safe, if a little scared. I hope this again...
