UPDATE: The red Chevy truck that was a person and vehicle of interest was located, interviewed and was very cooperative. He was found to have no involvement in this case but was able to confirm some relevant timeline information due to being in the area which aided in the investigation.
Ultimately, the child was located by a passerby in the Park Street area who stayed with her until police arrived. The child was reunited with her parents yesterday evening. It has been concluded that this was a case of the child leaving voluntarily and there is no evidence that she was in any danger by any other person.
