Authorities investigating the Abigail Hernandez nine-month disappearance from her Conway, New Hampshire community say the formerly-missing teen is cooperating with them, to some degree.
Thus far, however, scant details have been released to the public,
and no one but prosecutors, police and her family even know where the
girl actually was throughout the entire time she was missing. Let alone
whether Hernandez willingly ran off last autumn, was lured away from her
residence by someone she trusted, or outright abducted by a stranger.
But a police sketch of a possible suspect in this strange missing person case is now being widely circulated.
Officials are hoping someone may recognize the thirty-something male in the pencil portrait or remember seeing him in the vicinity of the Hernandez home, either on the day she vanished -- October 9th 2013 -- or in the days preceding the event.
The unknown male subject depicted in the police handout was described by Abigail Hernandez herself as having darkish skin, dark brown eyes, and black
stubble facial hair. She also noted that he was slightly overweight and stood not much taller than
her own 5-foot-4 frame.
Whether this individual aided the then 14-year-old as a voluntary runaway or is in fact her kidnapper still isn't clear, officials state. But either way, custodial interference of a minor child is a felony, so the man is being sought now for more than just questioning.
