Police said a 10-year-old girl visiting from Oklahoma City disappeared from a Carrollton apartment complex late Saturday night.
Jasmen Gonzales was last seen at the Walnut Creek apartments at the 1300 block of Walnut Street. Her parents said she was not in bed when they went to check on her at about midnight.
"We're concerned because of the cool weather overnight," Carrollton police spokesman Jon Stovall said. "She wasn't dressed for the weather. She had no shoes or socks on that we know of. She had a tank top on and no jacket."
Her family said Jasmen has a habit of sleepwalking. They found her eyeglasses in the apartment she was visiting relatives in.
A Dallas police helicopter flew over the area, and other agencies and volunteers quickly joined in to help the search efforts.
Dozens of police officers and rescue workers searched for the girl. Officers on foot handed out fliers with her photo and knocked on doors. Police also questioned drivers, stopping vans and cars near the scene of her disappearance. Six K-9 dogs were brought in to help try and find Jasmen.
Police said a blanket found by Farmers Branch police that investigators originally thought could be a clue was not Jasmen's.
Carrollton firefighters are using maps of the area to pinpoint places to check.
The family, who is cooperating with the search, was being interviewed at the Carrollton Police Department on Sunday.
