A 13-year-old Texas girl missing since last month may be in “grave or immediate danger,” authorities said.
Betsabe Perez, of Del Rio, was last seen in her hometown on Sept. 9 while wearing a white shirt and black and white bandanna, according to an Amber Alert issued Monday.
The Val Verde County Sheriff’s Office is searching for Erik Diaz-Tapia, 19, in the teen’s abduction. The suspect was last seen driving a red, older-model, four-door sedan with Texas plates — possibly a Pontiac, authorities said.
