Gina DeJesus disappeared on her way home from school at Wilbur Wright Middle School two Fridays ago. She was last seen at W. 105th Street and Lorain.

A tip led police Monday to search the RTA rapid tracks from W. 117th to W. 25th Street, and a nearby empty field, combing every inch in hopes of finding a clue.

Fifteen FBI agents are also working with Cleveland police. Tips from all over the country have been called in since DeJesus' disappearance, and investigators are working around the clock to follow up on every lead.

Over the weekend, investigators were led to a "person of interest" in the case, a man arrested in Dayton; however, this person is not a suspect in DeJesus' disappearance.

Also over the weekend, police canvassed the west side neighborhood, asking residents if they had any information that could help in the investigation.

Anyone with information about DeJesus should call the Cleveland police at (216) 621-1234.

Crime Stoppers is also offering a reward for anyone with information that helps catch the person or people responsible. The number is (216) 252-7463.
