MIRANDA HEMPHILL - 13 yo - Victorville (N of San Bernardino) CA

A statewide amber alert was issued for a 13-year-old girl who was abducted from San Bernadino County early Sunday morning, according to the California Emergency Management Agency.


Miranda Hemphill was abducted from her Victorville home at approximately 2 a.m. by a 22-year-old man who her father says befriended her over the internet. The San Bernadino Sheriff's Department issued the alert today at 1:27 a.m., just hours after her father made an online plea for his daughter to come home. In that YouTube video -- one that the sheriff's department said contains accurate information -- Hemphill's father speaks to the camera in front of a picture of Miranda. "You are amazing, you are everything to us," her father says in the video. "Please, just turn around and come home. My little hummingbird, please, I love you." Hemphill is described as standing 5 feet 7 inches tall, weighing 130 pounds, with brown hair and brown eyes. The suspect, Ivan Lopez, is a Hispanic male standing 5 feet 7 inches tall, weighing 165 pounds, with black hair and brown eyes. Lopez is possibly driving a primer grey and white Chevrolet van with a California license plate of 2CIW894. Anyone with information is asked to contact the Sheriff's department at (866) 346-7632.
