The authorities have requested an Amber Alert to be issued as they say the girl is in "extreme danger". According to the missing person's flyer distributed by the police, Lexus was last seen in Point, Texas. She's described as 5 feet, 6 inches tall, weighing around 160 pounds, with blonde hair and hazel eyes. Her father Gray is described as 6 feet, 1 inch tall and weighing around 200 pounds, with black hair and hazel eyes.
The police have said that Gray left on foot with Lexus from Point, and it's believed they are in either in Mesquite or Dallas. Gray was convicted in May of 2009 for sexually assaulting a 16-year-old girl and he "has a parole violation warrant that is active”.
This month we also reported a similar incident when a 10-year-old Texas girl, Rosemary Lee Singer, who was at the center of an Amber Alert was found safe after her mother was found murdered. She was located with her father, Ronald Singer, who was Maria's ex-husband.
According to the National Incident-Based Reporting System, "Family kidnapping is committed primarily by parents, involves a larger percentage of female perpetrators (43 percent) than other types of kidnapping offenses, occurs more frequently to children under 6, equally victimizes juveniles of both sexes, and most often originates in the home."
