The disappearance of a 3-year-old girl prompted the Bridgeport, West Virginia, Police Department to launch an Endangered Missing Advisory program for cases where vehicle information is not available. Police began searching for Aliayah Lunsford on September 24 after she went missing but did not issue an AMBER Alert because the state's criteria requires vehicle information. Community members started a petition to create “Aliayah's Law,” so an alert could go out without vehicle information. The police plan to use the advisory for all cases that do not meet the AMBER Alert criteria.
