Subscribe to RSSTuscson, Ariz. police continue to search for a missing 6-year-old girl. NBC's Miguel Almaguer reports and NBC's Ann Curry talks with criminologist Dr. Casey Jordan about the case.
As the search for a missing Arizona 6-year-old spills into Mexico, police say one of the men captured on surveillance video leaving a club near Isabel Celis' home could be a key witness in the investigation.
According to ABC News, police already have spoken with a few of the five people seen leaving the club around 1:30 a.m. on the night Isabel went missing. The club is just a block from Isabel's house in Tucson, and police want to know whether the group noticed anything unusual.
The girl was last seen around 11 p.m. on April 20 as she was getting ready for bed. Her father reported her missing the next morning, when he noticed Isabel was not in her bedroom at 8 a.m. and saw the window was open and the screen had been removed.
ABC reports that the search has crossed into Mexico, where U.S. marshals asked local authorities for assistance in the search for Isabel in the town of Sonora.
"The idea that somebody crossed and picked up Isabel and then went back into Mexico is actually realistic," former FBI agent Brad Garrett told ABC.
KVOA-TV reported that local artists recorded a song to raise awareness about Isabel's disappearance.
"If anything ever happened to my little girl I would want the community to go out and basically do what ever they can to bring her home," artist Yung Joe told KVOA.

Do not panic. All is well. remain calm. the border is secure.
Leroy: I generally appreciate your comments. I think they are well thought-out and cogent. However, in this case, I find your sarcasm to be uncalled for. I think it insesitive and unnecessary. Please reconsider your comments. Try to imagine how you would feel if this were your child.
No the border is not secure. No all is not well. But I don't see a new trend of kidnappings occurring around the border either!
The only reason Mexican criminals have not gotten more attention from the media is because they have messed with people who are mostly illegal and from their own country. Illegal aliens are less likely to call the cops when something happens to a loved one out of fear of deportation or prosecution. If they are stupid enough to start breaking into the homes of regular folk you can bet that the "Make My Day" law will start being invoked all over AZ and the gov't will finally be pressured enough to start lining the borders with more patrol officers and military.
Fred I understand your feeling as well however the Janet Napolitano woman and her lying lips have made a bad situation even worse..
I just want the child found ALIVE and her kidnappers caught. Too many of these stories have tragic endings.
The border will never be secure as long as WALMART is around. Corporate America has enabled our country to be less sovereign and less secure.
Corporate America and the 5cum who run these companies are perfectly fine with no borders.
Any questions?
yeah, what about the judges and law officers that let cartel employees slide? What corporation do they work for?
Why is a 6 year old just going to bed at 11pm?????? I think the cops need to keep their eyes on the parents of this girl because the evidence and story seems"too convenient".
Mexico is a modern day "Sodom & Gomorrha". Only God can save her now!
family related....
The media is only going to give out so much info..Trust me Law inforcement and FBI knows what happened....so do the parents, well at least the father does. You can see right through this mess. I am up all day and night watching my kid. I don't trust that easily. People are so naive to think that it's typical for someone to go through such lengths to climb over a wall and go in and out of a house to get a child. I believe it's an inside job all the way.
