Ms Liao is the third of four children and is currently in kindergarten.

Her mother said that she is generally well-behaved and often follows her as she sets up stalls at events. However, the girl was the not type to wander around on her own.

Her mother explained that as she often volunteers at temples, she has close relationships with many temple directors.

Since her daughter went missing, she has notified relatives and friends, including the girl’s godfather and godmother, to search for her together. Unfortunately, there has been no new information so far.

Officers and a rescue dog named Milo left the scene earlier this afternoon.  The festival was laden with too many smells, impeding the search.

However, she had received many calls of condolences.
