Logan police released new photos of the man suspected in the disappearance of 5-year-old Elizabeth “Lizzy” Shelley, and renewed their call for anyone who may have seen him on Friday night or Saturday morning to come forward.

The missing child has not been found; authorities have focused their search on a 10-mile stretch from Logan to Hyrum, particularly along 1200 West. Police are asking for people to check surveillance cameras on homes or businesses.

Police have identified Alex Whipple — who is Shelley’s 21-year-old uncle — as the primary suspect in her disappearance. The child was last seen about 2 a.
