ROBESON COUNTY, N.C. – Monday marks two weeks since 13-year-old Hania Aguilar was kidnapped from in front of her Lumberton home.

Two weeks later, here is what we know.

  • Hania Noelia Aguilar is an eighth grader in Lumberton. She is a Hispanic female, is 5 feet tall, and weighs 126 pounds.
  • On Monday, November 5 relatives say she was kidnapped while starting a car in the driveway of her home in the Rosewood Mobile Home Park, approximately 3 miles from I-95.
 
  • She was kidnapped in a relative’s car, presumably the one she was starting in the driveway, by an unknown man who was described as wearing all black and a yellow bandana.
  • Three days after the kidnapping, the SUV was located in some brush on Quincey Drive, the opposite direction of I-95 from the mobile home park.

 

 

 
  • The day after the SUV was found, video of a man walking in the area close to the time of the kidnapping was released. Police have still not identified that man and are asking for public assistance.

 

 

 

 
 
  • A few days later, evidence from the scene was flown by helicopter to Langley, Virginia where it went to an FBI lab.
  • A week later, local law enforcement, Fort Bragg Police, and the FBI announced they were using drones and K9s in their search for Hania.
  • Lumberton Police come out asking locals to search their properties looking for anything out of place that might be a clue.
  • The reward for information leading to Hania’s return has increased to $30,000.

Officials are asking the public to continue sharing Hania’s photo and to look out for her while in public.

 

 

Due to the time that has passed, she could be anywhere.
