Kalua’s adoptive parents had immediately called authorities at 6 a.m. on Sept. 13 when they discovered the child was missing, family spokesman William Harrison told the paper. They allowed police to search the house and have been cooperative with the investigation.
Harrison said that the girl would often leave the house at night to sleep in the yard and that the home's electronic locks confirm that she left overnight.
