Herrera's parents both deny knowing their daughter's whereabouts, according to YPD. It remains unclear if Herrera had left the area on foot or in a vehicle.

Police released more details about Herrera's disappearance earlier this week, while family and friends begged for the community's help in bringing the youngster home.

Authorities said that Herrera has threatened to hurt herself in the past.

Authorities ask that anyone with information about the Herrera case call Detective Tejeda or Sgt. Rodriguez at 783-4421, or 78-CRIME to remain anonymous. ( YUMA, ARIZONA)
