The latest on the search for Athena Brownfield​

New details in the investigation:

• Athena allegedly has limited verbal skills.
• She may have been missing since Friday, Jan. 6, according to flyers distributed by Cyril police.
• The FBI is reportedly working with OSBI in the investigation, but is not physically present at the scene.

Athena Brownfield was reported missing Tuesday around 2 p.m. after her 5-year-old sister was found near their home at 225 Nebraska Ave by a postal carrier, according to OSBI. The carrier reported it to Cyril police, who requested assistance from OSBI.

Athena is about three feet tall and 45 pounds with light brown hair and blue eyes. She was last seen wearing a pink butterfly sweater and pink pants, according to an Endangered Missing Advisory from the Oklahoma Highway Patrol. OSBI confirmed she has limited verbal skills.

Initial reports set her age at three years old. While OSBI updated her age to 4 on Wednesday morning, OHP officials and flyers distributed by the Cyril Police Department continued to say she was 3 years old. The flyers also said Athena had allegedly been missing since Friday, Jan. 6.

7News crews saw Athena’s home on Nebraska Ave. being cordoned off with crime scene tape around 9 p.m. on Tuesday. The next morning, OSBI PIO Brook Arbeitman said the crime tape was not an indication of a crime, but rather a precaution to keep people out of the home.

OSBI is asking anyone with a doorbell or home camera to check it for Athena, and to search their own property. However, they ask people not to self-deploy in search efforts without checking in at their command post at Family Life Church.

Numerous law enforcement agencies, fire departments, volunteer organizations and search and rescue dogs are at the scene. 7News reporters confirmed with officials Wednesday that the FBI is working with OSBI on the case, but is not physically present.

A press conference is scheduled for 2 p.m. Wednesday.

‘We need to find this little girl’: Search continues for missing 4-year-old Cyril girl​

An urgent search is underway for a 4-year-old Cyril girl who was reported missing Tuesday afternoon.

Athena Brownfield was reported missing around 2 p.m. Tuesday from her home near the 200 block of West Nebraska in Cyril, which is southwest of Oklahoma City.

Authorities say a mail carrier called police to report an unattended child – Athena's 5-year-old sister – which led them to learn about the missing girl. The OSBI initially said Athena was 3 but has since said she is 4.

"This is a very active and ongoing investigation, and right now our top priority is locating her. And sorting out who’s responsible will come next. We need to find this little girl," said Brook Arbeitman, with the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation. "She’s on her own in the elements. So, is that endangered? Yeah. But is she the victim of physical harm? That’s yet to be determined."


"The whole town has been out. We've also used dog teams and infrared," Lt. Michael Francis, with OSBI, said. "We're asking the community that if they want to come help to come to the Faith Church here in Cyril. That's where we're coordinating search efforts."

Investigators say they're in contact with Athena's parents.

'Still very actively looking for her': OSBI issues update on missing 4-year-old Athena
The Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation (OSBI) provided additional information about the disappearance of four-year-old Athena Brownfield.

While there were not a lot of updates that the OSBI could provide at this time, they did say they had been gathering what they call "relevant items" throughout the process of searching for Athena.

"I'm not going to call them evidence, but we are finding things around town that could be helpful to this case," said OSBI PIO Brook Arbeitman.

Arbeitman says they are still working on piecing together an accurate timeline on the disappearance of Athena. What they know so far is that a postal worker found Athena's five-year-old sister wandering along the road by herself. It was after the postal worker reported Athena's sister that law enforcement also learned that Athena was missing.

While OSBI cannot confirm for certain how long Athena has been missing for, Arbeitman said they can confirm that Athena's sister did not require any medical care after she was found. OSBI says she is currently in the protective custody of the State.

 

[Guess Who]

So can we now assume that the parents were doing something with/to her while the other one was left unattended? Were they kids left alone for a few day while the parents were on a bender? I'm coming to these conclusions due to the wording of they are in contact with the parents, but "may have been missing since Friday".

This is so sad. Dad hasn't seen the kids in a year because mom took them and left. At some point mom decides she doesn't want them / can't take care of them either and gives them to these people to take care of. Who apparently also don't want them / can't take care of them. I wonder how much drug use is involved in this group. Poor kids deserve(d) better.
