Missing for two years, police may have a lead in the case of a foster child who vanished one night. The whereabouts of Everlyse Cabrera have been a mystery for years, but now a toddler found in the Midwest may be the key to what happened to the little girl.
North Las Vegas Police say, at this point, they don't have enough evidence one way or the other to know whether the little girl found in Wisconsin is Everlyse.
Investigators say late last week, police in Green Bay found the four-year-old in connection with a drug arrest. Sources say the man she was with told police he got her in Las Vegas, either sold or traded for drugs.
At the time of her disappearance, her foster parents told police the then two-year-old must've unlocked the door and walked out into the night.
Investigators in both cities have since swapped photographs. North Las Vegas Police believe the girl in Green Bay bears some resemblance to Everlyse, but it's not an obvious match.
Investigators expect to receive a DNA sample taken from the girl to be analyzed here. That process will likely take several weeks.
Everlyse's biological mother, Marlena Olivas, says she's praying police have found her daughter, while at the same time trying not to imagine what may have been happening to her if indeed she was sold.
Investigators say they're working quickly to identify the little four-year-old, whoever she may be.
