Missing: Heather "Kitty" Riggio
CBS
Kid Finders Network announced on Friday it will assist in a missing person case where a young female, Heather Riggio of North Miami, went missing on May 6th, 2007. The organization will provide a mobile billboard that will feature vital information such as photographs of the victim, the areas she frequented, which will be placed in the area Riggio was last seen.
According to police, 20-year old Heather "Kitty" Riggio, was last seen on May 6th leaving her family's house, 1601 NE 174th Street. She got into a white SUV and that's the last anyone saw her.
She has blonde hair and was wearing a pink top, jeans and high heels. North Miami Beach Detective Rich Rand described a man in the SUV as an "associate".
Riggio's background is a bit tragic. Her mother died in a motorcycle accident when she was a child, and her father hasn't been around for years. She was raised by her grandmother.
Riggio, a one-time exotic dancer, who has never been missing before, has a felony charge pending for possession of narcotics. Police said Riggio simply may have gotten involved with the wrong crowd, despite the fact that family members say she had been trying to straighten out her life.
Police ask anyone with information to Miami-Dade Crime Stoppers at 305-471-TIPS (8477).
