The Hall County Sheriff’s Office has issued a statement regarding the ongoing search for 12-year-old Maria Gomez-Perez, missing since May 29 from her home on Westside Drive in Gainesville. Despite community searches and media requests for additional coverage, the Georgia Bureau of Investigation (GBI) determined that her case did not meet the criteria for a Levi’s Call (Georgia’s Amber Alert). The GBI has, however, issued a media advisory. Three tips have been received but have not led to finding Maria. The Sheriff’s Office emphasises its commitment to locating Maria and urges the public to report tips through official channels rather than social media. Maria is described as 5’3″, weighing 100 -110 pounds, with long black hair and brown eyes, and was last seen wearing a bright blue shirt.
