On the show, NCMEC spokeswoman Angeline Hartmann said Amanda Martinez, the girl's mother, disappeared with her three children when she was about to lose custody in 2016. In January 2017, police found the woman with her two other children, but not Mariah, KCBD reported.
"At this time, Mariah's mom is still in police custody, and we understand she's not cooperating at all," Hartmann said on "Live PD."
The Lubbock Police Department issued a statement Tuesday thanking the NCMEC for its help.
