Reported Titusville abduction may be linked to missing Miami girl

The police departments are working together because the sketch in Titusville is similar to that of Bellegarde's photos.

A girl last seen Tuesday being pulled into a sport-utility vehicle remained missing Thursday, authorities said.

But according to FLORIDA TODAY's news partner WKMG Ch. 6, Titusville police are working with Miami-Dade police on a 17-year-old girl who was reported missing in that jurisdiction. She was identified as Daina Bellegarde, who was last seen on May 7.

The police departments are working together because the sketch in Titusville is similar to that of Bellegarde's photos.

An Amber Alert was issued for the unidentified African-American girl who may be between the ages of 12 and 15 and had black braided hair with gold highlights. No one with that description has been reported missing in Brevard County.

Witnesses called 911 after spotting the incident in the 1600 block of Barna Avenue. They said she was being pulled into a charcoal SUV by an unknown person between 7:30 and 8:30 a.m. Tuesday.

The girl was described as 5 feet, 5 inches tall. She was wearing a green shirt, gray flat shoes, a black backpack and khaki pants.

Anyone with information about the girl's whereabouts can call Crimeline at 800-423-TIPS (8477).
