HALL COUNTY, Ga. — Law enforcement is continuing to search for the 12-year-old Hall County girl who disappeared more than four weeks ago.
The Hall County Sheriff’s Office said Thursday marked the fourth week of the investigation into the disappearance of 12-year-old Maria Gomez-Perez who was last seen at her Gainesville home on May 29.
Unfortunately, the department says they have no leads on her location.
Last week, the department increased the reward for her safe return to $50,000. The department said it has received even more tips on her potential location since upping her awards.

That said, our investigators are not giving up hope, and we ask our community to remain hopeful with us.
