Lumberton, North Carolina, police said false information being shared by the public about an AMBER Alert case hampered their investigation. An alert was issued for Hania Aguilar on November 5, 2018, after she was abducted from her home. People started spreading stories that a girl who looked like the victim was in Charlotte. Police said there was no reason to believe the information was correct. The 13-year-old was found dead one month later in the same county as her home.
