State authorities issued an Amber Alert for Linnik, who was last seen around 9:45 p.m. on July 4, in an alley behind her house, Tacoma police said.
Witnesses reported hearing a scream and seeing a man get into an older, gray van and drive away.
Police said the driver of the van might or might not have been an Asian male as he was described earlier by police.
A family member who saw the van speed away in the alley only saw the side of the van, and didn’t get a good look at the driver in the dark, Fulghum told NewsTribune.com
Linnik is described as a blonde, 4-foot-11-inch-tall Ukrainian girl. She weighs 80 pounds and was reportedly wearing a pink T-shirt, capri pants and red flip-flop sandals at the time of her disappearance.
