A man believed to be a stranger kidnapped Ashlynne Mike from the Navajo Nation, FBI spokesman Frank Fisher said. The fifth-grader was reported missing Monday afternoon, and an Amber Alert issued around 2:30 a.m. Tuesday said her kidnapper was seen driving a maroon van.
It was not clear why it took hours for authorities to get word out about the abduction. Authorities didn't immediately say whether the suspect had been found or what they were doing to find him.
The search for the girl included federal, tribal, state and county officers on the ground as well as a New Mexico State Police helicopter. About 70 or 80 residents also fanned out across the area where the girl was found, said Graham Biyaal, who helped organized the community search.
Delmar said Ashlynne's body was found in a secluded area near a distinct rock formation that the town of Shiprock is named for.
The girl lived in the vast reservation's San Juan Chapter — a rural, close-knit community that has been on edge since word began to spread that the girl was missing.
She was a fifth-grader at Ojo Amarillo Elementary School in Fruitland, New Mexico, and had been to school Monday, said James Preminger, a spokesoman for the school district.
A local radio station alerted residents in the rural area to the abduction and gave a description of the suspect's vehicle, San Juan Chapter manager Stanley Wauneka said.
The FBI described the suspect as Native American, but no other details were released.
