LAREDO (September 28, 2009)—A 12-year-old Laredo girl whose disappearance a week ago Tuesday led the Texas Department of Public Safety to issue a statewide Amber Alert is still missing and may be in Mexico.

The Amber Alert for Karla Victoria Yrigoyen-Rivas, however, has been canceled.

KGNS-TV is reporting that authorities are reviewing surveillance video that shows that the girl is in Mexico.

The station reported that police are working with authorities in Mexico to try to locate her.

According to several reports, it’s possible the girl went willingly.

She’s believed to be with Jose Angel Cruz, 28, who also goes by the name Giovanni, the DPS said last week.

He’s Hispanic, about 5-foot-6, weighs about 200 pounds, is bald and has brown eyes.

He was wearing a blue muscle shirt, blue jeans and yellow work boots.

He has a tattoo of a devil head skull on his right arm and a medusa on his right leg.
