NEWINGTON, CT (WFSB) -


Police are searching for a 5-year-old autistic girl who went missing from Newington almost a week ago.

A Silver Alert was issued for Emily Ruiz, who was last spotted with 40-year-old Tyrone Kelley and 24-year-old Quiana James.

Police said James and Kelley are friends with the mother of Emily. She told police that she was unable to make contact with James and Kelley, who were evicted from a motel in Newington on Nov. 7. 

Police said they believe Emily may be in an orange and white U-Haul box truck with the Arizona license plate of AD47213.



Investigators believe all three could be in the towns of Newington, Wethersfield, Berlin or Hartford 

Emily is being described as a white girl with brown hair and eyes who weighs 48 pounds and is 3'3" tall.

Police are not releasing why this is a Silver Alert and not an Amber Alert. 

Anyone with any information about her whereabouts is asked to call the Newington Police Department at 860-666-8445.
