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.

The department said it has followed leads in South Carolina, Tennessee, Florida, Alabama, Texas, Illinois and Maryland, but still they have not gotten any closer to finding her.
“Again, the Hall County Sheriff’s Office remains committed to bringing Maria home safe. We understand the community is frustrated at the lack of answers in Maria’s case. That said, our investigators are not giving up hope, and we ask our community to remain hopeful with us. We continue to seek key information that will lead us to Maria,” the department said in a statement.
