WESTMINSTER — Authorities are continuing their search in two states for a 10-year-old girl who disappeared on Friday.

Jessica Ridgeway was last seen leaving home to meet friends at a park so they could walk to school. Police say she didn’t meet up with her friends or get to school.

The FBI sent a team to the girl’s home in Westminster, on Tuesday, but they refused to comment on any findings. Her mother, Sarah Ridgeway, said she wants her daughter back.

Authorities went to the Independence, Mo., residence of the girl’s father, Jeremiah Bryant, on Friday. Bryant also said he wants to find his daughter.
