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)

Please note the following messages:

Sorry! The case you requested does not exist or has been removed from the site.


However I have read on another site that the case of Damaris Herrera-Lopez missing from Yuma, AZ, has been restricted.

Whatever that actually means...... At a guess another child located abroad but not returned back home to the USA.

Information taken from The Charley Project Website..

Source Information: KWST News 13

Herrera-Lopez, 10, was abducted by her non-custodial mother from Yuma, Arizona on December 10, 2008. In May 2012, she and her mother returned to the United States and turned themselves in. They had been in hiding in Mexico. Herrera-Lopez's mother was arrested and the child was taken into protective custody.

Plea deal being negotiated for mother accused of kidnapping her daughter

A mother accused of kidnapping her daughter in 2008 is negotiating a plea deal with the State of Arizona.

Chrystal Lopez faces charges of kidnapping per domestic violence, custodial interference per domestic violence, and fraudulent schemes.

Yuma police say Lopez orchestrated the kidnapping to take her daughter, Damaris Herrera-Lopez, to Mexico following a custody exchange in the McDonald's parking lot on 4th Avenue in Yuma on December 10, 2008.

Nearly 4 years later, Lopez was arrested at the San Luis Port of Entry after turning herself in on May 16.

Lopez appeared in Yuma County Superior Court for a hearing before Judge Maria Elena Cruz.

Her attorney, Terri Capozzi, told Judge Cruz a plea deal is being negotiated and the state has requested two more weeks.

A continuance for a change of plea or trial date setting in this case was set for next month.

Lopez remains behind bars on $50,000 bond.
