The search for a missing three-year-old will get some new resources. A judge has authorized the hiring of a private investigator to find Everlyse Cabrera.
The Channel 8 I-Team has spent more than a year investigating this case, and we like any opportunity to put Everlyse's face back in the news.
The now three-year-old girl disappeared from her foster home in Jun. of 2006. Leads to her whereabouts dried up shortly thereafter. But now, her court appointed guardian ad-litem plans to re-energize the investigation.
Dara Goldsmith filed a motion in federal court to hire Private Investigator David Groover.
Groover has been involved in many high-profile cases of late, including the probe into assault allegations lobbed by cocktail waitress Chrissy Mazeo against Governor Jim Gibbons.
A judge authorized Goldsmith to use a portion of a legal settlement to hire Groover. The funds, $300,000, have been deposited with the court paid by the foster family's insurance company.
The court has not yet decided how to divvy up the bulk of those funds.
Goldsmith received $20,000 to hire Groover. She also left the door open to ask for more if necessary.
Groover told the I-Team he has not yet begun to investigate but plans to start soon.
And as always, if anyone has information about the disappearance of Everlyse Cabrera, they can contact the North Las Vegas Police Department, or let us know.
