LATOYIA FIGUEROA STILL MISSING

PHILADELPHIA--Police conducted an extensive search of a house at 59th and Walton where Latoyia Figueroa was last seen in addition to a home on the 4200 block of Ogden. One house is where Latoyia Figueroa's ex-boyfriend and the father of her unborn child lived. No one answered the door at either of the homes Friday.

"They were looking for any evidence, like clothing, to find any hairs on one of the vehicles. They also were making sure she wasn't in the trunk of a car," Melvin Figueroa said.

Police sources declined to discuss what they were looking for in the houses, or what they found, but they did say that people Latoyia Figueroa knew -- her boyfriend and another woman -- had access to both houses.

Sources also told NBC that Figueroa's credit cards and cell phone still have not been used and that is highly suspicious.

About 100 Philadelphia police cadets filed into Cobbs Creek Park Thursday for the search. Police also brought in all-terrain vehicles and a helicopter to search for any sign of the missing woman. Earlier in the week, police sent up a helicopter with a thermal imaging device, but they found nothing.

"We wanted to do one concerted search of the park area. The last place where Miss Figueroa was seen was 59th and Walton, which is four to five blocks away from here," said Inspector David Jardin.

Figueroa's father made a plea to the public for help. "I'm asking anyone that knows anything to please get in contact with a police officer," Melvin Figueroa said.

BOYFRIEND A LIKELY SUSPECT?

Missing from the large crowd at 57th and Market streets was Latoyia Figueroa's boyfriend, Steven Pouche, the father of her unborn baby. That fact didn't go unnoticed by Figueroa's family members at the vigil.

Police have not named Pouche or anyone as a suspect in Figueroa's disappearance.

Figueroa's father told NBC hat Pouche and his daughter were at odds over her pregnancy. Family members also told NBC they feared Figueroa was caught in a love triangle that turned violent.

"She was fearful because the other girl that (Pouche) was involved with had her information on where she lived at," said Figueroa's cousin. "I still hope. I have faith in the Lord. I just try to prepare myself for the better or for the worst. I just want to pray for the best," said Melvin Figueroa, Latoyia Figueroa's father.
