FBI To Release Sketch In Case Of Missing Cleveland Girl

There is new information in the case of a missing Cleveland girl who disappeared almost a year ago.

Gina DeJesus disappeared last April 2 from her west side neighborhood, but since then there have been no arrests and very few leads.

But NewsChannel5 has learned that police and the FBI will soon release a sketch of someone authorities are calling a person of interest in the case.

Last year, bloodhounds traced the 14-year-old girl's footsteps to where she was last seen, after school near West 105th Street and Lorain Avenue.

Police say that in the days before she disappeared, a man driving a small white car was asking teens in the neighborhood where Gina lived.

The FBI is also reconstructing a unique bumper sticker seen on that car.

The FBI will release both the sketch and bumper sticker within a few days.

Gina's mother, Nancy Ruis, hopes that this new information will generate other tips.

"Someone has to have seen the person or car. Please come forward … maybe now they won't be afraid to speak up this time around," said Ruis.

A vigil will be held Saturday at 6:30 p.m. at West 105th Street and Lorain Avenue on the one-year anniversary of Gina's disappearance.
