Maine authorities seek optometrists' help in locating missing girl
July 2008


Missing girl with acquired heterochromia, with a blue right iris and green left iris.

Authorities in Maine are seeking information about a girl, between 3 and 6 years old, who appears in photos on the Internet that indicate sexual abuse. She has a rare eye condition, acquired heterochromia, with a blue right iris and green left iris. She has been confirmed as a missing person, and is believed to be in the eastern United States. She has eyeglasses, and thus most likely has been a patient of an eye care provider. One lens is etched with the letters "MS" and the frames are Disney Eyewear 187 from Marchon. Her PD is 52.

If you have information that can help police locate her, please contact Detective Michael J. McFadden of the Belfast, Maine, Police Department at 207-338-5255, m.mcfadden@belfastmepd.org, or contact the Maine State Police Computer Crimes Unit at 207-877-8085. He can also provide a full photo of the child's face upon request. "We want to hear from anyone who has any suspicion whatsoever that they may recognize this person, McFadden said. "The stakes are simply too high to second-guess ourselves. We will follow upon any lead and do so in a way that protects the source of our information and respects patient/doctor privileges.
