FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
 
CYRIL, Okla. (January 12, 2023) – Two days after being requested to assist with the Athena Brownfield missing child investigation, Special Agents from the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation (OSBI) make an arrest in the case.

Alysia Adams (10/5/1991) was arrested at the Grady County Sheriff’s Office booked into the Caddo County Jail at 4:12 p.m. on two counts of child neglect. The counts stem from the two sisters, four and five-years-old, who were in her and her husband’s care. The five-year-old was found Tuesday afternoon wondering outside Adams’ house on 225 W. Nebraska in Cyril. A postal carrier found the girl and notified police that she was alone.

The search for Athena continues. The OSBI is following every tip that is received, which are coming in from Oklahoma, as well as other states. In an effort to find clues as to Athena’s whereabouts, the trash service in Cyril was suspended. Additionally, analysts are reviewing surveillance video from around Cyril and seeking other evidence that can help locate Athena.

The OSBI is being assisted by multiple law enforcement agencies, as well as volunteers who have given much of their time in the search for Athena.

The investigation is ongoing. There is no additional information to be released at this time.
