| Lewis County residents who have been protesting outside court hearings about missing 3-year-old Aliayah Lunsford, say they are frustrated by a lack of information about the toddler, missing nearly four months.
They have now gotten a response from the FBI.
Special Agent William Crowley said that claims that the agency has abandoned the investigation is untrue.
Crowley says the FBI would offer updates if they were beneficial to the case. But right now, they're not.
He says the investigation is in a different stage now, and different tactics are required.
Lena Lunsford, the toddler's mother, has been charged with welfare fraud.
