Girl still missing 8 years after California mom killed. Can new FBI photo crack case?

A new photo released by the FBI shows what a girl who vanished eight years ago in the San Francisco Bay Area at the age of 2 might look like today.

Arianna Fitts, who would now be 11 years old, was last seen in Oakland in January or February 2016, the FBI said.

Her mother, Nicole Fitts was found dead in April 2016 in a grave in a San Francisco park, the FBI said. Investigators believe Arianna was not with her mother when she was killed.

“The investigation into Arianna Fitts’ disappearance is still very active,” the FBI said in a statement to McClatchy News.

“We are confident that there are individuals who have information about where she may be, and we encourage them to come forward and speak to law enforcement and help bring Arianna back home,” the agency said.

San Francisco police are the lead investigators on the case but the FBI has been involved from the start, KTVU reported.

Authorities said they believe the two cases are connected, KTVU reported.
