Police Search For Missing 11-Year-Old Florida Girl
By First Coast News Staff
SARASOTA COUNTY, FL -- There is an Amber Alert in Florida for a missing 11-year old.
Carlie Brucia is five feet tall and weighs 120 pounds. She was last seen on Sunday wearing a short-sleeved red shirt and blue jeans. Brucia has blond hair and blue eyes.
Police believe she was taking a short cut home on Sunday, and while walking behind a car wash in Sarasota, a man approached her and grabbed her.
Investigators are looking at surveillance video from behind the car wash. It does show a man approaching the girl and police say she does not appear to know him.
The suspect is a white man, about 5'10" and 200 pounds. He is believed to be in his 20s or 30s. He was wearing mechanics clothing.
If you have any information concerning the whereabouts of this child, please contact FDLE or the Sarasota County Sheriff's Office at 941-861-4260 or 1-888-FLMISSING (1-888-356-4774).

Can you imagine watching your child being abducted on tape?
On the one hand, I might appreciate knowing exactly what happened, but on the other it might be more terrible!
Perhaps they can take comfort that if the guy finds out he was caught on tape, he'd be more inclined to return her alive and face kidnapping charges (hopefully nothing more) than if he murdered her and faced a sure death sentence. Or so I pray....

Apparently she was taking a shortcut behind the car wash and was almost home.

Could be anything.
I am having trouble believing that NO ONE has identified him yet.
He didn't figure on being video-taped, must have just come off of a job and had to have had contact with the public, not to mention his employer.
Unless he went thru a whole lot of trouble to put on a uniform to fake out his potential victum?

It's definitely on the news in Florida. I hope they keep putting the guy's picture and identifying marks on TV every hour on the hour.

What happened to a quick kick to the groin? I think the guy had a knife or a gun and she froze at that point.

They speculated he looked like a bowling alley mechanic. I believe he had been watching her previously and had deduced that the car wash was a good place to watch her without being seen in one of the bays. He didn't look to see that there was a security camera however. That may or may not have helped the little girl if the guy takes desperate measures knowing they may be able to I.D. him. If he's just a common thug, he should just drop her off somewhere and leave the country.
