Nearly two weeks after a 12-year-old vanished from her family's Gainesville home, the Hall County sheriff said his team remains focused on finding her, believing her to be in danger. Maria Gomez-Perez was reported missing on May 30. On Tuesday, sheriff Gerald Couch held a media briefing to talk about how the search efforts are going. At first, he said investigators believed Maria left on her own. Couch said he's still trying to make sense of how she disappeared from Westside Drive. "I think she may have -- and this is a possibility -- she may have come in contact with someone that she did make contact with to leave, that day, from her house," Couch theorized. "Identifying that person and trying to find who they are and where they went, there's the key to it." Over the past few weeks, and as recently as this past weekend, crews have used K-9 officers and drones, checked Lake Lanier, and even searched Maria's home. "We've been there several times, to the residence," Couch said. "We've collected a lot of cellphones and forensic evidence." #mariaperez #gainseville #gainsevillega #truecrime #truecrimecommunity #crimetok #murdermystery #murder #breakingnews #news #complex #latestnews #trending #trendingreels #netflix #documentary #documentaries #fyp #tiktok #fypage #viralvideo #viraltiktok #missingmom #viral #viralvideo #virall #trendingvideo #scary #scarytok #missing #missinggirl #missingboy #truecrimetiktok #truecrimeanytime #truecrimestory #truecrimetiktoks #investigate #investigation #fypシ #fypシ゚viral #fypp #storytime #autumn #fall #xybcafypforyou #paranormal #paranormalactivity #paranormaltiktok #truestory #storytime #story #podcast #podcasts #truecrimepodcast #truecrimestories #truecrimestorytime #truecrimeobsessed #truecrimetok #conspirancytheory #conspiracy #fyp #fypシ #fypage #creepypasta #creepy #creepyfacts #creepytok #scarystories #scary #scarytiktoks #scarystory #greenscreenvideo #truecrimetoks #trending #viral #nancygrace #chroniclesofolivia - @chroniclesofolivia
