Investigators Hope Anniversary of Cold Case Brings New Leads

Four years after her disappearance, police continue to seek answers to what happened to Aliayah Lunsford. The child was 3 years old when she was reported missing from her home in Lewis County on Sept. 24, 2011. The Exponent Telegram says authorities periodically receive phone calls about the investigation. But the flow of calls has slowed significantly over the past few months, but investigators remain optimistic that publicizing Aliayah’s story will generate information. The girl’s mother, Lena Lunsford, spent eight months in prison for welfare fraud after her daughter vanished.
