There is new information in the case of a missing Bakersfield girl.
Alyssa Brandon, 13, hasn't been seen since October 21st. She is considered at-risk.
Bakersfield Police say Alyssa was communicating with a 14-year-old boy in Jerome, Idaho, but the boy and his parents tell investigators Alyssa was not expected there.
On Tuesday, police turned their focus to a 45-year-old man who contacted Amtrak about fares to Jerome, Idaho, then took a taxi to Fresno.
Alyssa's parents say they have family in the Fresno area, but no one has seen her.
They say they don't know who the man is and they're worried sick about their daughter. Andrea Brandon, Alyssa's mother. "All I care about right now is if I can get even a phone call from her just saying she's okay," said Andrea Brandon, Alyssa's mother. "If I could hear her voice, that's the hardest part is the not knowing. If I knew she was with a friend. If I knew she was sleeping on someone's couch or even in their closet of her own free will, then I could probably sleep better."
"We get our hopes up she might be here, then we hear she might be somewhere else. She could be anywhere. That's really what we want everybody to know so everybody's looking," said Alyssa's father, Kyle Brandon.
Alyssa Brandon is 5'4", 120 pounds, with brown hair and green eyes.
She has a burn scar on her upper right arm.
If you see her, please call Bakersfield Police at 327-7111.
