LAKEWOOD, Wash. -- The FBI has joined the investigation into the disappearance of a 10-year-old girl missing since Friday.

While the ground search has been called off, agents worked with Lakewood police Sunday and provided sonar equipment to search American Lake. Lakewood is a Tacoma suburb.

Adre-Anna Jackson disappeared Friday after she left her apartment for a five-minute walk to Tillicum Elementary. Her family said they didn't realize she was missing until late Friday afternoon because they didn't know the school was closed because of snow.

On Saturday, Lakewood Police searched the girl's apartment, as well as nearby American Lake for clues to Adre-Anna's disappearance.

Up to 120 searchers and family members have knocked on doors, handed out fliers and searched nearby parks and neighborhoods for the girl, but turned up few if any leads, said Lakewood Assistant Police Chief Dave Hall.

Her mother said the fourth-grader was carrying a black and pink backpack. She was wearing blue jeans, possibly a blue shirt and white tennis shoes.
