Police frantically search for young girl kidnapped from Italy hotel in suitcase: report

Italian authorities believe a 5-year-old Peruvian girl was kidnapped from a former hotel housing some 140 illegal immigrants, according to global reports.

Kataleya Mia Chicillo Alvarez was reportedly stuffed into a suitcase and kidnapped from the former Hotel Astor in Florence, where she and her family lived illegally with about 140 other migrants, on June 10, according to Italian news outlet La Repubblica. 

A 3-year-old girl who lived in the same hotel as Kataleya reportedly said she saw the 5-year-old crying while being dragged away by an unknown man, the outlet reported.

Investigators are examining a cellphone found in a trash can near the hotel, according to La Repubblica.

The Alvarez family lawyers have reportedly requested to conduct their own investigation at the hotel once Italian police complete theirs.

Kataleya's mother, Kathrina Alvarez, was apparently hospitalized after drinking bleach in desperation after her daughter's disappearance, La Repubblica reported.

"I made a mistake. I'll be fine, forgive me if for a moment I thought about giving up and losing hope. But now I'm stronger, and I won't rest until I find [her]," she said, according to the outlet.

Her father, Miguel Angel Romero, reportedly said he has had issues with the former hotel in the past and speculated that Kataleya's kidnapping may be an "extortion" attempt. The 140 migrants were apparently evicted from the hotel on Saturday.

"I think it's a kidnapping. Maybe for extortion, I don't know. I don't have to judge. God will judge, but my little girl has nothing to do with it. I don't want any more problems with anyone. I love my family," he said, according to La Repubblica. 

The Peruvian community in Florence marched through the streets holding signs with Kataleya's — or Kata's — name and photos in an effort to spread awareness about her disappearance.

Harrowing 911 audio reveals daughter’s panic over Ohio dad ‘killing everybody’ in 3 sons’ murders

Minutes before deputies arrived to find an Ohio dad sitting in his yard next to a rifle with his three sons dead on the grass, a neighbor told dispatchers a girl approached her claiming her father was "killing everybody in her family," newly released 911 audio reveals.

"She said that her stepfather is killing everybody in her house," the woman told the dispatcher, explaining she found the girl running down the road calling for help. "I asked her to get in the car with me, and she said she couldn't leave her family."

She described the survivor as a teenage girl with blonde hair. The victims were three boys, ages 3, 4 and 7.

In a second call, a man across the street said he saw at least two children shot in broad daylight.

The Clermont County Sheriff's Office arrested Chad Doerman, 32, on June 15, charged with three counts of aggravated murder. 

He is accused of executing two of his sons before he "hunted" down the third, who had fled into a neighbor's field, only to drag him home and shoot him too.

Although he ignored commands from responding deputies, they placed him in handcuffs without further violence.

In previously released bodycam video, black bars obscured the screen where the boys' bodies are laying on the grass. Immediately after Doerman was in cuffs, deputies attempted to render aid.

"Can I roll over?" Doerman asks, cuffed and prone on the ground. "I ain't gonna hurt ya. I ain't gonna hurt nobody."

Doerman is being held on $20 million bail for three charges of aggravated murder in the shootings.

At his arraignment Friday, prosecutors alleged that he confessed to lining his sons up in the yard and gunning them down.

"This is by far the most sickening, horrifying crime I have seen," Clermont County Prosecutor Mark Tekulve said, according to the Cincinnati-based WKRC-TV. "I can only imagine the terror these little boys felt and experienced as their father – their protector – was murdering them."

He is due back in court on June 26.
