Tuesday marked the sixth anniversary of the disappearance of a young girl from a park in Cumberland County.

Investigators say Alavez was playing with her brother in the park while their mother sat in a car nearby. The little girl then went missing.
She was last seen wearing a yellow shirt with a koala on the front, black and white pants with butterflies and flowers on them and white dress sandals.
