Authorities have released a new age-progression photo of Dulce Maria Alavez, who went missing from a New Jersey playground in 2019 when she was 5 years old. The photo, generated by the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, is aimed at sparking recognition and potentially bringing her home. New Jersey authorities are urging the public to share the image and report any possible sightings.
