Kirsty described Mariah as 'an angel', saying in a video featured by Sky News, "She's goofy, outgoing, talkative. She knows how to make your day brighter."
The mother had put her daughter to bed on Sunday night. An amber alert was issued Monday morning just after 6am when Mariah was reported missing. The alert usually signals that a child aged 17 or younger is at immediate risk of harm or injury.
According to the ABC News, the Onslow County Sheriff Department said it is too early to speculate on what exactly happened.
The local community have joined the search for the three-year-old and they 'love her to death', said mum Kirsty.
When asked what it would mean to see Mariah again, Kirsty replied, "Everything in the world."
We hope that Mariah returns home soon, safe and sound.
