NASA, FBI Joining in Search for Missing Florida Girl
CAROL COSTELLO, CNN ANCHOR: NASA and the FBI are joining in the search for a missing Florida girl. Eleven-year-old Carlie Brucia was apparently abducted on Sunday night. We want to take you live to Sarasota now and reporter Murv Seymour of CNN affiliate WTSB to find out more. Tell us the latest.</s>MURV SEYMOUR, WTSP CORRESPONDENT: Good morning, Carol. Well, I can tell you that the search for this little girl has intensified. The sheriff's department here has set up a command post. They have been working throughout the night. We know that they did search well into late last night with civilians and some law enforcement officers. Now, the 11-year-old Carlie Brucia disappeared on Super Bowl Sunday. She was last seen around the kickoff time of the Super Bowl and they actually caught some images of her walking home from a surveillance video camera at a local car wash here. And it appears that she was approached by a man that she doesn't know and it appears that she's also being led away by that man. So they're taking this very seriously. Now, the FBI is working on getting the technology and using the technology from NASA that would allow them to enhance the images from that particular videotape. They hope to get a closer look at the man on that videotape to get a better idea of who he might be. Right now they say they are working with more than 200 different leads. They've also asked that a computer be brought in from their headquarters to help them analyze all these different leads they've got coming in. And we can also tell you that they have upped the reward in this case. It was $25,000. Now it's up to $50,000 and we know that the search will continue this morning. They're expected to be back out here to begin resuming their search and we will get a live update coming up from what they have to say about the latest developments overnight. That will be around nine o'clock this morning.</s>COSTELLO: A couple of questions for you, Murv. In just looking at that videotape, it looked like the man had a uniform of some type on. And I know this parking lot where this alleged abduction took place was a car wash. Do they have any, any knowledge of him working there? I also heard of tattoos on this man's arms. Can you tell us more about this guy in this videotape?</s>SEYMOUR: Well, that's the million dollar question right now. They don't know much. They think he's about 5'10" in size. They know that he is a white man. They, again, noticed that he has a name tag that looks like some sort of a uniform, not sure where. They did notice that he was also wearing some white tennis shoes and they did notice the tattoos on his arm. But, again, they're waiting to get that technology from NASA to be able to look a little closer and they hope that that might be able to tell them a little bit more about this person.</s>COSTELLO: Yes, you would hope that there he turns around and you can see his face and they could enhance that so that we could put it out to our viewers. And they'll probably do that a little later. Murv Seymour, thanks very much, live from Florida this morning, Sarasota, Florida.
