"It was my only daughter that I had," Jose says.

In Jose's home in Fort Smith, pictures of Olivia are spread out.

"Her birthday was November 4, which was a Saturday, then her mother came for her Sunday, and that was the last time I saw her."

On November 8 a family member inside of the mother's Van Buren home called 911, Olivia was unresponsive.
